Here is a question for you: I’ve got a UIButton that we’ll call bottomButton

  • 0

Here is a question for you:

I’ve got a UIButton that we’ll call bottomButton. I have another UIButton that we’ll call topButton. What I want to do is place topButton on top of bottomButton such that when you tap topButton, it’s action is executed. The problem that I’m having is that when I tap topButton, its bottomButton‘s action that is getting executed.

So what I want to know is if it is possible to place a UIButton on another UIButton so that when tapped, only the top UIButton registers the tap. Savvy?

Any input is appreciated!

    Yes, it’s possible. There are three things to check out:

    1) Is topButton actually situated above bottomButton in the view stack?
      [UIView bringSubviewToFront:] may help here.
    2) Is topButton large enough to register the tap?
      Try making topButton larger than 44×44 and see if that helps.
    3) Make sure that topButton is enabled.

    EDIT

    I just saw your comment about adding topButton as a subview of bottomButton, and that’s likely to be part of the problem. You could try adding both bottomButton and topButton to a new UIView, and then add that new UIView where you had previously used bottomButton.
