How to access section headers when using UIView instead of UITableViewHeaderFooterView

When i'm using UITableViewHeaderFooterView i can access my section header with 

MyClass *section = (MyClass *)[self.tableView headerViewForSection:0];

Any way to access sections if i'm using UIView as a subclass instead of UITableViewHeaderFooterView

You could tag your custom section footer view when you create it, e.g., in tableView:viewForFooterInSection:, like this:

mySectionFooterView.tag = kMySectionFooterViewTag;

kMySectionFooterViewTag can be any NSInteger you like.

To access mySectionFooterView from some other part of your program you can then use:

mySectionFooterView = [myTableView viewWithTag:kMySectionFooterViewTag];

myTableView is the UITableView that includes your custom section footer view. You can typically access myTableView as self.tableView, when using a UITableViewController.

Note that there can be performance considerations with this approach, because viewWithTag: will search the entire view hierarchy of myTableView.
