UITableView, custom cells, and editting

I had a little problem ( and still have one left) related to using a custom cell in a UITableView and trying to get it to do nice things when editting. Like cells sliding right when going into table edit mode and truncating the end when the "delete" button shows up. I have managed to get it working and looking good, except for the case of cell edit mode:

This seems like a lot of work, and I wonder if I am missing something that would make it easier.

The main problem I am having is determining the state of things. Particularly when the table level edit display is on and when the cell level edit display/confirmation is on

The resulting code ends up with if you swipe a table entry, it shifts right just like for the table level edit. Irritating.

5. {
6. CGRect frame;
7. CGRect cellFrame = self.frame;
8. CGRect contentFrame = self.contentView.frame;
9. UITableView* table = (UITableView*) [self superview];
11. BOOL tableEditting = table.editing;
12. BOOL isedit = self.editing;
13. BOOL cellEditting = self.showingDeleteConfirmation;
15. // NSInteger indentLevel = self.indentationLevel;
16. // CGFloat indentWidth = self.indentationWidth;
18. CGFloat leftOffset = 0;
20. if (tableEditting)
21. {
22. leftOffset = 35;
23. }
25. CGFloat rightOffset = 0;
26. if (cellEditting)
27. {
28. rightOffset = 80;
29. }
31. frame = topImage.frame;
33. frame = bottomImage.frame;
34. frame.origin.x = 0;
35. frame.origin.y = cellFrame.size.height - 5;
36. bottomImage.frame = frame;
38. if (hasAvatar)
39. {
40. frame.origin.x = frame.origin.y = 6;
41. frame.size.height = frame.size.width = 45;
42. cellAvatarView.frame = frame;
43. }
44. else
45. {
46. cellAvatarView.frame = CGRectZero;
47. }
49. //
50. frame.origin.y = 5;
51. frame.size.height = cellFrame.size.height-10;
53. if (hasAvatar)
54. {
55. frame.origin.x = 57;
56. frame.size.width = cellFrame.size.width - (57 + leftOffset + rightOffset);
57. }
58. else
59. {
60. frame.origin.x = 6;
61. frame.size.width = cellFrame.size.width - (6 + leftOffset + rightOffset);
62. }
64. cellLabelView.frame = frame;
66. frame.origin.x = leftOffset;
67. frame.origin.y = 0;
68. frame.size.height = cellFrame.size.height;
69. frame.size.width = cellFrame.size.width - (leftOffset + rightOffset);
71. self.contentView.frame = frame;
73. // }//end if labelview
74. }

Addendum: My answer, which makes me feel dirty and bad about myself, was to subclass UITableView and add a flag that could be accessed in the cell layoutSubviews that I could set when I entered/exited table edit mode. My first impulse was to override setEditing:animated but it turns out that it gets called when the swipe is detected. Which makes sense in light of things. Not happy about how that works though.
