Custom UITableViewCell with button

I subclassed UITableViewCell and added a button to it. How do I response to the event when the button is touched? I also need to know which index path was the button pressed on.

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

    CustomTableCell *cell = (CustomTableCell *)
    [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
                                    loadNibNamed:@"CustomTableCell"
                                    owner:nil options:nil];
        for (id currentObjects in topLevelObjects){
            if ([currentObjects isKindOfClass:[StatusTableCell class]]){
                cell = (StatusTableCell *) currentObjects;
                break;
            }
        }                           
    }
    cell.customButton.tag = indexPath.row;
    return cell;
}

You can assign the IBAction in the CustomTableCell Nib and in the function do something like this:

- (IBAction) btnDoSomethingPressed:(id)sender {
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [yourTableView indexPathForCell:(UITableViewCell *)[[sender superview] superview]];
     //Use indexPath (or indexPath.row) like you would in a UITableViewDelegate method 
}

This assumes that yourTableView is an instance variable assigned to your table.

If you have added the UIButton by code in your UITableViewCell Subclass you can use the following code to add an action for it.

//In UITableViewCell subclass
    [customButton addTarget:self 
               action:@selector(aMethod:)
     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];

And then you have already written the code for accessing the row number by setting,

 cell.customButton.tag = indexPath.row;

You can get the tag value in the aMethod and access the indexPath.row value like below,

//In UITableViewCell subclass
    -(IBAction)aMethod:(UIButton*)button
    {
        NSLog(@"indexPath.row value : %d", button.tag);
    }
