Question

My question might sound rather strange, but still I didn’t find any reference and I really need help.

so my point is, I have a ViewController which has a collection of UIViews, to be specific a subclass of UIView with

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event

overridden

from this event i want to load a specific data (according on the UIView touched) on the UIViewController’s child UIWebView

Is there a way to address parent ViewControllers children from the UIView that receives the action

Or am I looking into a completely wrong direction.

Any hel will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You can use delegate for example:

@protocol someProtocol
- (void)recivedTouch:(UITouch *)touch fromUIView:(UIView *)uiView;

in you view:

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    [self.delegate recivedTouch:touch fromUIView:self];
}

View controller implemed method from delegate:

- (void)recivedTouch:(UITouch *)touch fromUIView:(UIView *)uiView
{
    if (uiView == self.someView)
    {
        // do some stuff with uiWebView
    }
}
