UIScrollView prevents touchesBegan, touchesMoved, touchesEnded on view controller

Question

I am handling touches for a couple of my UI components in my view controller (custom subclass of UIViewController). It has methods touchesBegan:withEvent:,

Answer 1

user1085093's answer worked for me. Once you move the touch more than a small amount, however, it then gets interpreted as a Pan Gesture.

I overcame this by altering the behaviour of the Pan Gesture recogniser so it requires two fingers:

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
    NSArray                 *gestureRecognizers = self.gestureRecognizers;
    UIGestureRecognizer     *gestureRecognizer;

    for (gestureRecognizer in gestureRecognizers) {
        if ([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UIPanGestureRecognizer class]]) {
            UIPanGestureRecognizer      *pgRecognizer = (UIPanGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer;
            pgRecognizer.minimumNumberOfTouches = 2;
        }
    }

}
