cocoa touch question - I have searched devforums with the usual total
lack of result.
UIControl has a 'touchInside' readonly property which, according to
the documentation returns
A Boolean value that indicates whether a touch is inside the bounds
of the receiver. (read-only)
but it doesn't really seem to do that. Experiments calling it each
time I get called on continueTrackingWithTouch:withEvent: shows that
it stays YES until the touch moves quite some distance from the
control (like about an inch on the iphone screen). Logging touchInside
along with a hitTest on the event, the touchInside and hitTest are
both YES inside the control, the hitTest instantly moves to NO as I
cross the border but touchInside stays YES for some distance,
eventually they both become NO. (code and output below).
Should I consider 'touchInside' to be more of a 'user-interface' flag
which is telling me that a touch has moved far enough from the control
that standard control behavior says we're now far enough away to be
considered 'outside' and 'inside' is really an area both inside and
some distance from the control? I'm fine with that if that means my
controls will act like the standard controls.
Anyone come across this and had similar thoughts? I'm happy to file a
documentation radar if I think I understand what's really going on here.
-(BOOL)continueTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)
event
{
CGPoint locInView = [ touch locationInView:self ];
NSLog( @"continue tracking: %d : %d", [ self isTouchInside ], [ self
hitTest:locInView withEvent:nil ] == self );
return YES;
}
