How to correctly subclass UIControl?

Question

I don\'t want UIButton or anything like that. I want to subclass UIControl directly and make my own, very special control.

But for some rea

I think that you forgot to add [super] calls to touchesBegan/touchesEnded/touchesMoved. Methods like

(BOOL)beginTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event    
(BOOL)continueTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event

aren't working if you overriding touchesBegan / touchesEnded like this :

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
   NSLog(@"Touches Began");
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
   NSLog(@"Touches Moved");
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
   NSLog(@"Touches Ended");
}

But! All works fine if methods will be like :

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
   [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
   NSLog(@"Touches Began");
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
   [super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
     NSLog(@"Touches Moved");
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
   [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
   NSLog(@"Touches Ended");
}
