How to get touches when parent view has userInteractionEnabled set to NO in iOS

To get a view to let touches pass-through but give its subviews handle touches, let userInteractionEnabled on that view to YES and, instead, use this snippet:

-(id)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {    id hitView = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];    if (hitView == self) return nil;    else return hitView;}

Setting the parent view's userInteractionEnabled property to NO also implicitly sets its subviews userInteractionEnabled properties to NO as well. I don't know of a way to get touch events to the subview using the approach that you have described, but perhaps you could create a view that simply overlays the views that you want users to interact with, but is not the parent of those views.

Swift solution- You need to have a custom view class for the parent view and add the following code to it. Please keep the parent view's user-interactions enabled.

I hope the following code will help you.

class MyCustomParentView: UIView {        override func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, with event: UIEvent?) -> UIView? {        let hitView = super.hitTest(point, with: event)        if hitView == self {            return nil        } else {            return hitView        }    }}
