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

Your labels are huge. They start at {0,0} (the left top corner of the button), extend over the entire width of the button and have a height of the entire view. Check your frame data and try again.

Also, you have the option of using the UIButton property titleLabel. Maybe you are setting the title later and it goes into this label rather than your own UILabel. That would explain why the text (belonging to the button) would work, while the label would be covering the rest of the button (not letting the taps go through).

titleLabel is a read-only property, but you can customize it just as your own label (except perhaps the frame) including text color, font, shadow, etc.
