iPhone - Custom UITableViewCell with clickable UITextView

Question

I created a custom UITableViewCell and placed a UITextView element on it. Now when I click on the UITextView inside the cell tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: is not called (in the superview which is a UITableViewController).

Should I make the UITextView "transparent" or something? How can I do that? I get the same effect when adding a button.

Answer 1

Adjust the userInteractionEnabled property to NO

someTextView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
