Programmatically perform an action on UILabel touchUpInside?

Question

I have a bunch of UILabels that I add through code and I want to perform a specific action for each if the user's finger touches up inside (much like UIButton's touchUpInside in IB). What is the best way of doing this?

Answer 1

The easiest way is probably to use UIButton instead of UILabel. A custom UIButton has no border and can look like a plain label, but handles the event tracking for you.

Otherwise, you must derive from UILabel and implement the UIResponder calls for touch handling.
