How can I click a button behind a transparent UIView?
I also use
myView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
No need to subclass. Works fine.
Create a custom view for your container and override the pointInside: message to return false when the point isn't within an eligible child view, like this:
Swift:
class PassThroughView: UIView {
override func point(inside point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> Bool {
for subview in subviews {
if !subview.isHidden && subview.isUserInteractionEnabled && subview.point(inside: convert(point, to: subview), with: event) {
return true
}
}
return false
}
}
Objective C:
@interface PassthroughView : UIView
@end
@implementation PassthroughView
-(BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
for (UIView *view in self.subviews) {
if (!view.hidden && view.userInteractionEnabled && [view pointInside:[self convertPoint:point toView:view] withEvent:event])
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
@end
Using this view as a container will allow any of its children to receive touches but the view itself will be transparent to events.
