Giving swip event to other control

Question

I have a UITextView on top of a UIView. They are in a PageScrollView. The user can swipe anyhere outside of the UITextView and flick over the next page (view). I'd like the user to swipe on the UITextView and flick over the next view as well.

The UITextView scrolls vertically when there is to much text, which the user can swipe and see the rest. View paging scrolls horizontally. I need the UITextView to give its horizontal swipe to the UIView. How can I do that?

If you subclass UITextView and override each of it's touch events:

• touchesBegan:withEvent:
• touchesMoved:withEvent:
• touchesEnded:withEvent:
• touchesCancelled:withEvent:

with this:

- (void) touchesXXX:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesXXX:touches withEvent:event];
    [[self nextResponder] touchesXXX:touches withEvent:event];
}

This will allow handling of all touches by both the UITextView and its parent view. Since your UITextView scrolls exclusively vertically and your UIScrollView scrolls exclusively horizontally, this will work out fine.
