How to pass the touch event to superview when userInteractionEnabled = YES?

Question

I have the following setup.

+- XXXCustomControl : UIControl -------+
| A                                    |
|   +- ContentView -------------------+|
|   |         


        

Answer 1

You could try overriding the pointInside:withEvent: method in your inner view. This will allow you to return NO when you want to forward touches to the superview:

-(BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    if( /* You have content, and you want to receive touches */){
        return YES;
    }else{
        return NO;
    }
}
