Is it possible to set the alpha property of a UITableViewCell accessoryView?
iphone
Solution
After trying about a billion different things and looking everywhere for some answers, I ended up just faking it by adding a subview to the cell's contentView and positioning it to the accessory position. I'm able to set the alpha property on that subview to my heart's content.
Problem
I'm using a `UIImageView` as the `accessoryView` in a `UITableViewCell` that I'm creating programmatically. I've tried everything I can think of to set the `accessoryView`'s `alpha` property, but it's not working. I'm able to set the `hidden` and `opaque` properties with no problems, but `alpha` is hating all over me. I tried creating a new project that contains a single `UITableViewController` and the following `tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:` method: ``` - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell"; UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease]; } cell.textLabel.text = @"Cell"; UIImageView *iv = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"]]; cell.accessoryView = iv; [iv release]; // cell.accessoryView.hidden = YES; // works cell.accessoryView.alpha = 0.5f; // fails return cell; } ``` As you may have guessed, the `accessoryView` is fully opaque. Am I missing something? I can't find any information about what's going on here. Thanks!
