Hi Remco,

I haven't done what you're asking so I don't have the sort of ready answer others on the list probably do, but I would ask why you don't use a detail disclosure button (i.e. the right arrow inside a blue circle) in each table cell for this purpose. UITableView very much supports this motif (tap the cell contents for one set of details, tap the accessory for another) and users will be familiar with the paradigm (e.g. in WiFi settings).

It also saves users a tap, and minimizes the hiding of functionality.

In order to let the user change these settings I've added a "settings" button to my UIToolbar. When the user taps the button I want to show a button for each row which allows the user to enter the configuration view. Much like the "Delete" button in the e-mail app.
