get UITextField text from UITableView

I have created a Custom UITableViewCell which has a UIlabel and a UITextField.

In my firstViewController i load and show the custom table:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    LoginTableCell *cell = (LoginTableCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    if (cell == nil) {
        NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"LoginTableCell" owner:nil options:nil];

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

Then when the user hits "Login" i want to get the UITextField.text value from there and store it into a string.

- (IBAction)login:(id)sender {

I know this may sound simple, but i have been stuck on this, and can't seem to find the correct answer to solve.

I thought I could do something like this:

NSString *user = LoginTableCell.loginTextField.text;

but this returns an error of:

request for member 'text' in something not a structure or union

any help much appreciated

Thanks

Sam

In general you can do it like this. Make sure the indexPath in the below code is the correct indexPath for the row which has the required textField.

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
LoginTableCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *user = cell.loginTextField.text;

IN tableview didSelectRowAtIndexPath delegate, you have to declare a variable for what is in the textfield,and u have to declare it in wherever you want by setting @property @synthesis and use this string as global variable.then u can use this string and wherever u want to display,by setting your textfield.text = your-string;
