iphone - determine if touch occurred in subview of a uiview

Question

In a subclass of UIView I have this:

    -(BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {
       if(touch occurred in a subview){
         return YES;
       }

       return NO;
    }

What can I put in the if statement? I want to detect if a touch occurred in a subview, regardless of whether or not it lies within the frame of the UIView.

Answer 1

Try that:

- (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    return CGRectContainsPoint(subview.frame, point);
}

If you want to return YES if the touch is inside the view where you implement this method, use this code: (in case you want to add gesture recognizers to a subview that is located outside the container's bounds)

- (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    if ([super pointInside:point withEvent:event])
    {
        return YES;
    }
    else
    {
        return CGRectContainsPoint(subview.frame, point);
    }
}
