Question

I’ve added a UITextView to my cell. If the userclicks on the cell where the UITextView then then didSelectRowAtIndexPath: is not called unless they click the area where the UITextView is not covering. Is there a work around or what is it I have done wrong?

UITextView *txtview = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(75, 1, 250, 34)];//init and create the UIWebView
txtview.autoresizesSubviews = NO;
//txtview.autoresizingMask=(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth);
[txtview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
[txtview setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:15]];
txtview.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
txtview.scrollEnabled = NO;

[txtview setOpaque:NO];
//[txtview setDelegate:self];
txtview.editable = NO;
txtview.text = aBlogRss.title;
[txtview setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(-11,-8,0,0)];
//[txtview loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];
[cell addSubview:txtview];
[txtview release]; 

Many Thanks,

I think the solution is actually

txtView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

This will pass touches to the parent view.. or in this case the UITableViewCell. If you are doing this in multiple places it would be a good idea to subclass UITAbleViewCell.

Alternatively, you could make your class a UITextViewDelegate, set your txtView.delegate to self, and implement

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView ,

and then select the proper UITableViewCell through self.tableview.. But that would be nothing short of a hack.
