Assigning a callback to a UIView's UIButton from the containing UIViewController

Question

Right now I have a UIViewController subclass that is hosting a UIView subclass. This UIView has a UIButton, and I want the touch event to be sent to the UIViewController subclass. Right now I have a getter method in the UIView subclass, so I grab the button and assign it by just using the reference from within the UIViewController subclass.

What's the best approach to achieve this result?

Answer 1

Add the action event to your ViewController

- (IBAction)myButtonPressed:sender;

Now if you're using IB (you should be) just link it up, or if doing this in code then manually create the event link.

[myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(myButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
