iphone development: using tableview cells as a button

Is that possible to use tableView cells like a button? In my app I want to have a table view which has 4 rows and in each row there will be labels. What I want is when I touch a row, the table tableview cell should react like a button (perform an action and background is highlighted)? Is that possible? How can I do that? Thanks.

- (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] autorelease];

very simple the delegate method will be called didSelectRowAtIndexPath there you can get which row is tapped in which section and you can perform further action.

for example

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    // deselect
    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

    if(indexPath.row == 0){
        LoginFormViewController *vController = nil;
        if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
        {
            vController = [[LoginFormViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginFormViewController_ipad" bundle:nil];
        }else {
            vController = [[LoginFormViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginFormViewController" bundle:nil];
        }
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:vController animated:YES];
        [vController release];
    }
}

The cel will highlight, and your table view's delegate will receive a tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: message anyway. You don't need anything extra to achieve what you have described.

You can implement this 'button' functionality in the tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexpath method in your UITableView delegate ;)

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
    // do something when pressed on an UITableViewCell
}
