UIPanGestureRecognizer on UITableViewCell overrides UITableView's scroll view gesture recognizer

Have you tried setting pannings delegate property?

panning.delegate = /* class name with the delegate method in it */;

You'll also need to conform that class to UIGestureRecognizerDelegate.

Subclass the panning gesture recognizer and make it recognize only horizontal panning. There is a great WWDC 2010 video on the issue of custom gesture recognizers available. Actually there are two on that subject, check them out at https://developer.apple.com/videos/archive/:

• Simplifying Touch Event Handling with Gesture Recognizers
• Advanced Gesture Recognition

Add the gesture recogniser On tableview. From that, you can get the cell object. From there you can handle the cell Functionality. For each gesture, there will be a begin, changed, end state. So, store the begin position.

    CGPoint beginLocation = [gesture locationInView:tblView]; // touch begin state.

    CGPoint endLocation = [gesture locationInView:tblView]; // touch end state.

Using this point, you can get the IndexPath

    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tblView indexPathForRowAtPoint:beginPoint];

From this indexpath, you can access the cell.

            UITableViewCell *cell = [tableview cellForRowAtIndexPath : indexPath];

Using this Cell object, you can handle it.
