Create editable UITextView inside a UITableViewController cell

I created a uitextview inside a uitableviewcontroller programatically but i am unable to edit the textview. Here's an overview to my table layout:

Row1: UILabel

Row2: Uneditable UITextview

Row3: UILabel

Row4: Editable UITextview

Here's what i am doing:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{ 
UILabel *label = nil;
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

if(indexPath.row%2==0)
{
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.frame.size.width, 50)];
    [label setBackgroundColor:[self.cellBackgroundColor objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    [label setText:[self.celltitle objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    label.font=[UIFont fontWithName:[self.cellFontName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] size:[[self.cellFontSize objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] integerValue]];

    label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
    [[cell contentView] addSubview:label];
}
else{

    UITextView *messageBox= [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.frame.size.width, 150)];
   cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    cell.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
    if(indexPath.row==3)
    {
       [messageBox setEditable:YES];
[messageBox setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
        messageBox.delegate=self;
        messageBox.editable=YES;
    }
     [cell.contentView addSubview: messageBox];


}
return cell;}

I have also set textviewdelegate in header file and textviewshouldbeginediting method but row4 textview is still not editable... Any help?

I tried your code..Its working for me.. see the changes bellow 

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  UILabel *label = nil;
  static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

  if (nil == cell)
  {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];


    if(indexPath.row%2==0)
    {
        label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.frame.size.width, 50)];
          [label setBackgroundColor:[self.cellBackgroundColor objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
         [label setText:[self.celltitle objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
         label.font=[UIFont fontWithName:[self.cellFontName objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] size:[[self.cellFontSize objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] integerValue]];

        label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;
        [[cell contentView] addSubview:label];
    }
    else{

        UITextView *messageBox= [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.frame.size.width, 100)];

        cell.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
        if(indexPath.row==1)
        {
            // Uneditable UITextview
            messageBox.editable=NO;
        }
        [cell.contentView addSubview: messageBox];

    }
}
return cell;
 }

You have to initialize the cell´s content view before using it. Try this:

cell.contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,cell.frame.size.width, 150)];

In addition to making the messageBox setEditable and setUserInteractionEnabled, you ALSO have to make sure those properties are enabled in your UITableViewController as well since the UITextView is nested within it!

[tableView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[cell setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[messageBox setEditable:YES];
[messageBox setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];

(*Note, your tableView and TableViewCell both have the same name from this function so I would put that code elsewhere but I added it above just incase)
