You can also use touchesBegan:withEvent: and touchesEnded:withEvent: methods.

    if([t count] > 0) {
        // Do something

}

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    NSSet *t = [event touchesForView:_myView];
    if([t count] > 0) {
        // Do something
    }
}
