How do I capture touch events such as - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event without subclassing a UIView nor using UIViewControllers.
What happens is that I have a simple UIView created programmatically and I need to detect basic tap events.
If you are writing your app for iOS 4, use UIGestureRecognizer. You can then do what you want. Recognize gestures without subclassing.
Otherwise, subclassing is the way to go.
