detecting the [UITouch view] in touchesMoved method - iphone

Question

I wish to drag from one subview to another within my application (and connect them with a line), and so I need to keep track of the current view being touched by the user.
I thought that I could achieve this by simply calling [UITouch view] in the touchesMoved method, but after a quick look at the docs I've found out that [UITouch view] only returns the view in which the initial touch occurred.
Does anyone know how I can detect the view being touched while the drag is in progress?

Answer 1

And my way:
- (void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([self pointInside:[touch locationInView:self] withEvent:event]) {
[self sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
} else {
[self sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpOutside];
}
}

Answer 2

After a bit more research I found the answer.
Originally, I was checking for the view like so:
if([[touch view] isKindOfClass:[MyView* class]])
{
//hurray.
}
But, as explained in my question, the [touch view] returns the view in which the original touch occurred. This can be solved by replacing the code above with the following:
if([[self hitTest:[touch locationInView:self] withEvent:event] isKindOfClass:[MyView class]])
{
//hurrraaay! :)
}
Hope this helps

UIView is subclass of UIResponder. So you can override touches ended/ began methods in your custom class, that inherits from UIView. Than you should add delegate to that class and define protocol for it. In the methods
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
or whatever interactions you need just send appropriate message to object's delegate also passing this object. E.g.
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[delegate touchesBeganInView: self withEvent: event];
}
