Answer 1

You should start with the project template "Master-Detail Application" and look at the mechanisms to create your own code in C++.

But at the core, creating a UITableView is a two step:

• init the view
• plug it to its delegate/datasource

Answer 2

in your .h file, add the following:

@interface YourClass: UIViewController <**UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate**>

right-click (or ctrl-click) and drag from your tableView to the File's Owner twice. Once, select "delegate", and once select "dataSource".

Then, in your .m file, you need to implement the following:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{return 1;}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{return someNumber;}

- (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];
    }

    [[cell textLabel] setText:yourText];

    return cell;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    //do what you want to with the information at indexPath.row
}

That should get you a working tableView.
