For me the best way to solve this was overriding -(void)layoutSubviews
in MyCell:UITableViewCell
Here you can see not only the Delete button custom position, but also repositioning the Edit and Reorder controls for Edit mode
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.0f];
for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl"]) {
CGRect newFrame = subview.frame;
newFrame.origin.x = 200;
subview.frame = newFrame;
}
else if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellEditControl"]) {
CGRect newFrame = subview.frame;
newFrame.origin.x = 100;
subview.frame = newFrame;
}
else if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellReorderControl"]) {
CGRect newFrame = subview.frame;
newFrame.origin.x = 200;
subview.frame = newFrame;
}
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
