Passing scroll gesture to UIScrollView from another view

Question

Hi,

I do have a view that has a UIScrollView and over it there is a view that display some text. When the user swipes over this view that contains text the UIScrollView won't scroll. How to make this view transparent in a way it relays the swipe gesture to UIScrollView.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can just set

myTextView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

Or, if you're creating your view with Interface Builder, there's a check box there called 'User interaction enabled', just uncheck that.

Answer 2

Inside the -touchesXXXX:withEvent: methods of your custom view, call their super methods to forward touch events.

For example:

• (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { // forward touchesBegan to super class [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];

  ... // process touchesBegan for this view }

Do the same things for touchesMoved, touchesEnded, and touchesCancelled.
