Problem with hitTest

Question

Hi

I'm trying to have hitTest detect touches in a UITableView. Currently the didSelect method fails to react to numerous touches I want to ensure that every touch is detected especially as there are quite a few touches required before another view controller is pushed.I'm a total newbie to objective-C but I did manage to find a code snippet someone had kindly provided to the community. I've had to try and adapt it but the app builds then crashes, if anyone can see what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate the help.

-(UIView*) hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent*)event
{
    // check to see if the hit is in this table view
    if ([self pointInside:point withEvent:event]) {
        UITableViewCell* newCell = nil;
        UITableViewCell* activeCell = nil;
        // hit is in this table view, find out 
        // which cell it is in (if any)
        for (aCell in self.visibleCells) {
            if ([aCell pointInside:[self convertPoint:point toView:aCell] withEvent:nil]) {
                newCell = aCell;
                break;
            }
        }

        // if it touched a different cell, tell the previous cell to resign
        // this gives it a chance to hide the keyboard or date picker or whatever
        if (newCell != activeCell) {
            [activeCell resignFirstResponder];
            activeCell = newCell;   // may be nil
        }
    }

    // return the super's hitTest result
    return [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];   
} 
- (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

    if ([aCell pointInside:[self convertPoint:point toView:aCell] withEvent:nil]){
    return YES;
    }
    else {
        return NO;
    }
}
-(CGPoint)convertPoint:(CGPoint)point toView:(UIView *)view
{
    return point;   
}

I have no idea really whether either -(CGPoint)convertPoint: or - (BOOL)pointInside: have even been done correctly (obvioulsy the app might build even if these methods do nothing). visbleCells is an array of customView table cells.

I also have no idea how to call on the hitTest method. I've done this:

[self sethitTest:bookTable];

Where bookTable is the actual subclassed TableView in the TableViewController.
