Handling Touch Event in UILabel and hooking it up to an IBAction

Question

Ok, so I have a UILabel created in interface builder that displays some some default text of \"tap to begin\".

When the user taps the UILabel

Answer 1

Check it out:

UILabel *label = ...
label.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture =
      [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self 
                                              action:@selector(labelTap)];
[label addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];

The trick is to enable user interaction.
