Fixing the "delete" menu for UITableView shouldShowMenuForRowAtIndexPath

UITableViewCell+ShowDeleteMenu.m

// Quick Hack to enable delete menu item
@implementation UITableViewCell (Addition)

- (void)delete:(id)sender {
    // We define delete: method so that our UIMenuController delete item shows up
    id nextResponder = self.nextResponder;
    for (;;nextResponder = self.nextResponder) {
        if ([nextResponder isKindOfClass:[UITableView class]]) {
            
            UITableView *tableView = nextResponder;
            NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableView indexPathForCell:self];
            if (indexPath) {
                [[tableView delegate] tableView:tableView
                                  performAction:@selector(delete:)
                              forRowAtIndexPath:indexPath
                                     withSender:sender];
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

@end

Thanks for this. Seems more in line with Apple's 'right way' of implementing UIMenuController on a table than manually adding a long press gesture recognizer.

@macrococoa You're welcome!
