Forwarding UIGesture to views behind

Question

I am working on an iphone (iOS 4.0 or later) app and having some troubles with touch handling between multiple views. I am having a view structure like this

If i undestand your problem correct, you may just add another, clear view with rect, same as you A and B view, and implement all gesture on it: when you do pinch gesture, control subView A, when swipe and tap (single and double) gestures - control subView B. You can do it different ways: via pointers or just sending recived gesture to method in class, wich controls your sub view.

for example:

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *leftSwipe  =  [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(leftSwipe:)];
[leftSwipe setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft)];
leftSwipe.delegate  =   subViewAcontroller;
[clearView addGestureRecognizer:leftSwipe];
[leftSwipe release];

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *rightSwipe  =  [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(rightSwipe:)];
[rightSwipe setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight)];
rightSwipe.delegate   =   subViewAcontroller;
[clearView addGestureRecognizer:rightSwipe];
[rightSwipe release];

UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pinch   =  [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handlePinch:)];
pinch.delegate    =   subViewBcontroller;
[clearView addGestureRecognizer:pinch];
[pinch release];

or:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer{
    if ([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UIPinchGestureRecognizer class]]) {
        NSLog(@"pinchGesture");
        [subViewBcontroller solvePinchGesture: gestureRecognizer];
    }
//etc
    return YES;
}
