Question

[iPhone] Select tablecell when touching embedded view

Answer 1

+1 A:

Try set MapView's userIteractionEnabled property to NO

That will just remove the events from the event queue. He needs to intercept them and let the parent view handle them.

It should work if he doesn't need to interact with MKMapView

Vladimir 2010-02-09 13:29:56

I thought that when you disabled userInterActionEnabled it is like the touch NEVER happened at all?

willcodejavaforfood 2010-02-09 13:31:28

Then view will not handle touches and let parent view handle it instead. (at least I think it must do so)

Vladimir 2010-02-09 13:35:32

@vladimir - OK that would be an easy solution :)

willcodejavaforfood 2010-02-09 13:40:10

Easy, but does it work? Nope ;-)

@Vegar - Well at least it was so easy that it was worth trying before my more cumbersome solution :)

It should have worked, though. Reading the help for hitTest:withEvent, I found this line: "This method ignores views that are hidden, that have disabled user interaction, or have an alpha level less than 0.1." According to that, my mapview, with disabled user interaction, should be ignored, bit it's not... :-/

I can confirm that this does indeed work! I have an MKMapView inside of a TableCellView. Setting this property now has the `didSelectRowAtIndexPath` event getting fired so I can handle touches of the embedded map.

Answer 2

+3 A:

I think you need to override the hitTest method inherited from UIView

- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event

This method traverses the view hierarchy by sending the pointInside:withEvent: message to each subview to determine which subview should receive a touch event. If pointInside:withEvent: returns YES, then the subview’s hierarchy is traversed; otherwise, its branch of the view hierarchy is ignored. You rarely need to invoke this method, but you might override it to hide touch events from subviews.

That's it. I implemented this method on my custom cell, and simply return self. Thanks!
