I am adding a UIView programmatically to superview, and i would like to add a target to the UIView to be able to perform any actions on touch. In order to add a target i need to set the custom class of the UIView to UIControl. Normally thats done in IB, but since im doing it programmatically i can’t set it up that way. I tried to set UIControl like this, but its not working.

subView.class = UIControl;

Whats the proper way of doing that?

    An instance of UIView does not have a target. If you want a target/action mechanism, create an instance of UIControl. Otherwise, use a gesture recognizer on your view.
