Anything faster than a UIButton?

Question

Hi,

I'm writing an iPhone app which needs an extremely rapid response for a touch event. Is there any object that will provide a faster response than the UIControlEventTouchDown result of a UIButton loaded from a nib? I'm open to any resources that don't require extensive digging around or reverse engineering.

Thanks in advance!

Probably not. Though you could create your own subclass of UIView which implements - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event (and other similar methods). Though it's likely that this is exactly what UIButton does for you anyway.

If a UIButton isn't fast enough, try a subclass. But I don't think it will be much different.
