touchesBegan method not called in UITableViewController class in iPhone

Question

How can I use touchesBegan: withEvent: method in UITableViewController class?

UITableViewController is a subclass of UIViewController class. So why the method does not works in UITableViewController?

Answer 1

touchesBegan is a also UIView method besides being a UIViewController method.

to override it you need to subclass UIView or UITableView and not the controllers.
