There doesn't seem to be a function for that. All you can do is give a custom text for the Delete confirmation button, by using the function below.

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Design view from xib like bellow example

alt text

now make IBOutlet of uiview in .h file

IBOutlet UIView *accessoryView;

connect that IBOutlet to your design view.

now in .m file set that view as editingAccessoryView of table cell

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
        cell.editingAccessoryView = accessoryView;

       }

}


- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

   return NO;

}

now when you swipe your custom view will show in place of delete button

I'm likewise trying to do this at the moment, EightyEight, and finding this solution - that I presumed would be about right - doesn't work under iOS 6 (simulator, on XCode 5 beta). – Slowburner Jul 29 '13 at 10:11

This doesn't work at all. First of all, returning NO for "canEditRowAtIndexPath" will simply prevent the editingAccessoryView from showing up at all. Second problem is that you need to instantiate a new instance of the accessory view for every new cell. Last of all ... I don't think "dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier" ever returns nil, which of course means that the editingAccessoryView will never be assigned. Did you actually test this code? I really don't think so. – Owen Godfrey Sep 25 '13 at 16:48
