How to make marquee text in tableview

Question

I want to make marquee text in my tableViewCell. So i found some code:

- (void)fireTimer
{
  NSMutableString *mutableText = [NSMutableString stringWithString: textLabel.text];
  //Takes the first character and saves it into a string
  NSString *firstCharText = [mutableText substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(0, 1)];
  //Removes the first character
  [mutableText deleteCharactersInRange: NSMakeRange(0, 1)];
  //Adds the first character string to the initial string
  [mutableText appendString: firstCharText];

  textLabel.text = mutableText;
}

But when i pasted this code to my project i have error, textLabel not found. But textLabel its my text in Cell. So what i do for find TextLabel from tableViewCell in this code. Maybe you know any code for marquee in tableViewCell text or detail text. Thanks

You can download the AutoScrollLabel files from this link http://stormyprods.com/sampleCode/AutoScrollLabel.zip

Then add these files in to your project

Import this class in your custom cell class, #import "AutoScrollLabel.h"

@interface YourCustomCell : UITableViewCell

@property(nonatomic,strong)IBOutlet AutoScrollLabel *textLabel;
@property(nonatomic,strong)IBOutlet AutoScrollLabel *detailLabel;

@end

and connect those labels outlets in YourCustomCell.xib file.

In your viewController cellForRowIndexPath method,

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

    YourCustomCell *cell= (answerCustomCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
    if(cell == nil)
    {

        NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle]loadNibNamed:@"YourCustomCell" owner:self options:nil];

        for(id currrentObject in topLevelObjects)
        {
            if([currrentObject isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]])
            {
                cell = (YourCustomCell*)currrentObject;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

cell.textLabel.text = @"Your text";
cell.detailLabel.text = @"Your text";

return cell;

}
