Handling touches inside UIWebview

Question

I have created a subclass of UIWebView , and have implemented the touchesBegan, touchesMoved and touchesEnded methods.

Following on from what Unfalkster said, you can use the hitTest method to achieve what you want, but you don't have to subclass UIWindow. Just put this in your web view subclass. You will get a compile time warning but it does work:

- (void)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    if (event.type == UIEventTypeTouches) {

        // get location info
        CGFloat x = point.x;
        CGFloat y = point.y;

        // get touches
        NSSet *touches = [event allTouches];

        // individual touches
        for (UITouch *touch in touches) {

            if (touch.phase == UITouchPhaseBegan) {
                // touches began

            } else if (touch.phase == UITouchPhaseMoved) {

            }

            // etc etc
        }
    }

    // call the super
    [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
}

Hope that helps!
