Why does UINavigationBar steal touch events?

Question

I have a custom UIButton with UILabel added as subview. Button perform given selector only when I touch it about 15points lower of top bound. And when I tap above that area

Answer 1

Subclass UINavigationBar and add this method. It will cause taps to be passed through unless they are tapping a subview (such as a button).

 -(UIView*) hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
 {
    UIView *v = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
    return v == self? nil: v;
 }
