Is it possible fix the position of first row on UITableController?

Question

In my app I have used a UITableViewControllersub class to display a list of data. I finished every thing in the project, but the client needs the top row of the table to stay on top and not scroll with the rest of the content. I know this could easily be achieved using a UIViewController instead of a UITableViewController but would like to avoid this. I'm here for a final attempt to see if there is any way to fix some rows in a table view.

Please note that there are 4 different UITableViewController's in my project and they all have some complex logic in their table view delegate methods. This means a lot of work if I need to change all the UITableViewControllers into UIViewControllers. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you consider to add that cell as a header for first section of your table view? — Szu, Jul 16 '14 at 09:22
you can create view and add it to your section header if your table has only 1 section. — ChintaN -Maddy- Ramani, Jul 16 '14 at 09:25
Yes, i have only one section in table view..so let me try this option — Blios, Jul 16 '14 at 09:26
@Szu and Chinttu 'RoxeN' Ramani, i'v search bar on all the tables after creating header what will be the position of search bar on top or under section header? — Blios, Jul 16 '14 at 09:29
you just need to create customview and return in `viewForHeaderInSection` method. you can add anything in it.another option is you can also add searchbar in `table.tableHeaderView = yoursearchbar`. — ChintaN -Maddy- Ramani, Jul 16 '14 at 09:35

I have two suggestions for you:

More common practice is to use property of the UITableView
```
@property(nonatomic, retain) UIView *tableHeaderView
```
Second way to place your table view as child view and add another subview
- UIView
  - HEADER UIView
  - UITableView

All you need to do is to implement method (declared in UITableViewDelegate):

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return self.yourHeaderTopView;
}

Add 2 cells use first as static and fill up the information as u want. set the Reuse modifier of the second and call that second cell in the cellAtRowForIndexPath method to use that second cell continuously
