Hey,

I have a Core Data powered app with a view controller which contains an add button in the navigation bar. This button presents a view controller which has been automatically generated by Sensible TableView.
When I enter some data in this view controller and tap "Done", so that this view controller disappears, the new cell has been added to the tableModel. That's great.

But this cell is selected by default. It's highlighted blue (see screenshot). How can I disable this behavior?

Thanks,
Patrick

Hey Patrick,

Assuming that your view controller is a UITableViewController, please set its clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear property to TRUE.

Thanks, Tarek.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me.

My view controller is a UITableViewController and I set self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = YES; in viewDidLoad.

I just wonder why the cell is selected (by default) after it has been added by STV? Isn't that a strange behavior? Why should I want to have the cell selected, which has been added just a moment ago?

Hi Patrick,

We can have this optional in our next release. We can create a BOOL section property called something like "selectCellAfterCreation", which you will be able to set to FALSE.

Hi Tarek,

that would be great.
But how I do I fix that temporarily?

self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = YES; doesn't work — even not in your "Core Data App" demo:
- Tap the Add button
- Enter a name
- Tap Done
= The cell is selected

For now you can just deselect the row using [tableModle.modeledTableView deselectRowsAtIndexPaths:]. Please tell me if you need any more help.
