Question

I\'ve got a button that I\'m adding as a subview of a table view\'s tableHeaderView. The button appears fine, and tap-and-holding on it works intermittently - for the most p

I had a similar problem - a textfield and button inside a view set as the table header view which would not respond to touch events. setAutoResizing programmatically worked for me.

My controller extends UITableViewController, and viewDidLoad looks like this:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    MYCustomWidget *headerView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] 
               loadNibNamed:@"MYCustomWidgetView" owner:self options:nil] 
               objectAtIndex:0];

    [headerView setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingNone];

    self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;
}

('MYCustomWidget' extends UIView, and 'MYCustomWidgetView' is a XIB file).
