UIButton as part of UITableViewCell subview - make it work...

Question

Hi all,

I'm having some class which is a subclass of UITableViewController. on one of the TableView's cell I'm adding a view that holds a UIButton as subview (i.e. [someParentView addsubview:button]) I'm adding the view to cell like this: [cell.contentView addSubview:someParentView]

I've set the UserInteractionEnabled both for the button and for the view holding it ("someParentView") to YES but still when I tap it, nothing seems to be happening.

any idea?

Thanks

Answer 1

What i want to accomplish in short: i want to make a tableview that shows some views. each view contains some subviews, and in one of those cases there is a uibutton as a subview. i want to have this button to trigger event by user's tap, as any other uibutton, so some method will be launched.

to do that, i made a class which subclasses UITableViewController, and for each cell i added a view using [cell.contentView someView], as i wrote. i disabled selection from all using the [self.tableview setAllowSelection:NO] and for each sell made selection style as NONE. as said, i also set the view and the uibutton UserInteractionEnabled property to YES. anything i'm missing?

Been solved! i've used the method:

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

of UIView class in my subclass and returned the button as the returned object. (of curse, needed to test point if in button area).
