TouchUpInside on UIView with children

Question

I may be missing something here, but...

I have a UIView with a few children (a couple of UILabel's and UIImageView). I need to catch an event when the user clicks (taps) anywhere within the parent UIView - visible part of the UIView or any of its children).

What's the best way of doing this?

Answer 1

You can change the UIView's class in the Identity Inspector ... make it UIControl and then you can add an event for UITouchUpInside for your view - to catch the taps on it.

Good luck!

EDIT: here's a step-by-step with screenshots:

The view...

... of course, no events.

Go back and change UIView with UIControl and...

Ta-daa! Events!

Hook a method to the UITouchUpInside event

This is how it should look like in the interface file

This is how it should look like in the implementation file (you can, of course, replace the logging with anything you want)
