Question

I needed to see touch events on my window, so I subclassed UIWindow to make my a MYWindow class. I am overriding the sentEvent function to receive the touch events on the window and all of that is working just fine. I did the following to achieve this:

self.window = [[MYWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

The issue I am facing is that when I do this, the viewControllers that are on this window won’t rotate anymore. If I were to use a regular UIWindow, they all work just like I intended them to work. Obviously, something is wrong with my setup.

I was looking through UIWindow header file and there is a method called

- (void)becomeKeyWindow;  //override point for subclass, Do Not call directly

Am I suppose to implement this in my custom UIWindow class just like I had to implement the sendEvent: method? Please point me in the right direction with this.

Thanks in advance guys.

I figured out what the issue was. I was creating a delegate on the custom window and called it “delegate” which was causing the issue. Naming it to “aDelegate” solved the issue. thanks for all your help.
