Ok, so I have a UILabel
created in interface builder that displays some some default text of "tap to begin".
When the user taps the UILabel
I want it to trigger an IBAction method:
-(IBAction)next;
which updates the text on the label to say something new.
It would be really convenient if this allowed me to simply drag a connection from my method to my label and then select touch up inside, as with a button. but alas, no cigar.
so anyways, I guess my question is, am I going to have to subclass UILabel
to get this to work? Or is there some way I can drag a button over the label, but make it 0% opaque. Or is there a simpler solution I'm missing?
Check it out:
UILabel *label = ...
label.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture =
[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(labelTap)];
[label addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];
The trick is to enable user interaction.
