Question

I have a UIView overlaying a subclassed UITableview. The problem is that ,I cant get the tableview to scroll. I have tried overriding touchesBegan,touchesMoved,touchesEnded. I then tried to override hittest but that seemed to have no affect.

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint touchPoint = [touch locationInView:self];
    NSLog(@"SMTable.touches began %@",NSStringFromCGPoint(touchPoint));
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];

}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint touchPoint = [touch locationInView:self];
    NSLog(@"SMTable.touches moved %@ for :%p",NSStringFromCGPoint(touchPoint),touch.view);
    [super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint touchPoint = [touch locationInView:self];
    NSLog(@"SMTable.touches ended %@",NSStringFromCGPoint(touchPoint));
    [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event {
    [super touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (UIView*) hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    //NSLog(@"SMTable.hitTest %@",NSStringFromCGPoint(point));
    return [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
}

If your UIView is above your UITableView, then all touch events will land in that UIView and your UITableView will not scroll. You need to disable interaction for your top most `UIView˜
