Handling touches

I have a UIView subclass with several subviews and I want to handle these events in the class:

  • touchesBegan:withEvent:
  • touchesMoved:withEvent:
  • touchesEnded:withEvent:

but I also want these event to be called at the subviews. How can I accomplish that?

(I have already tried with hitTest, but I only get the touchesBegan event and no touches are send with the method)

Solution

  • I have managed to solve it by overriding the following method at the main window:

    - (void)sendEvent:(UIEvent*)anEvent

    I also check if it is the right event with through

    if ([[[anEvent allTouches] anyObject] phase] == UITouchPhaseBegan)

    I do the same for UITouchPhaseMoved and UITouchPhaseEnded, execute my custom code and then send [super sendEvent:anEvent];
