Subclass of UIViewController don't catch touch event

Question

I have a parent class (A) that is UIViewController. Than i create class B that is subclass of class A. What happens is that i can't catch touch events in class B with methods like touchesBegan. But if i implement this methods in class A ... they get called.

@interface A:UIViewController
.....

@interface B:A

Answer 1

You need to implement those methods in your UIView subclasses, not in UIViewController subclasses.

Answer 2

You need to subclass UIView to implement the method touchesBegan.

@interface YourCustomView : UIView

@implementation YourCustomView

// Override this function to get the touch
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    NSLog(@"TOUCH!");
}

And now set the view of your VC as a "YourCustomView"

@interface YourViewController : UIViewController
{
     YourCustomView*    view  
}
