UITableViewCell with image background, ignoring touches?

Question

Hi have setup a UITableViewCell from a nib file and everything is working as expected. However I decided it would be nice to add a UIImageView as a background to make the cell a bit more interesting, the only problem is that the new UIImageView is now stopping touches getting to the underlying UITableViewCell (i.e. the cells do not turn blue when you tap them). What do I need to set on the UIImageView to allow it to pass-through touches?

EDIT: I am not sure if this is the correct way but I created a a new "Highlighted" version of my image background and added it to the UIImageView using the "Highlighted" pulldown.

cheers Gary.

Answer 1

Add the image to the tableview cells background view, not its content view.
