title: UIView. Why Does A Subviews Outside its Parent's Extent Not Receive Touches?
body: <p>I have a simple - trivial - UIView parent/child hierarchy. One parent (UIView). One child (UIButton). The parents bounds are smaller then it's child's bounds so that a portion of the child extends beyond the bounding box of its parent. </p>
  
  <p>Here's the problem: Those portions of the child outside the bbox of the parent do <strong>not</strong> receive touches. Only tapping within the bbox of the parent allows the child button to receive touches.  </p>
  
  <p>Can someone please suggest a fix/workaround?</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE</h2>
  
  <p>For those following this question, here is the solution I implemented as a result of @Bastians most excellent answer:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
  
      BOOL isInside = [super pointInside:point withEvent:event];
  
      // identify the button view subclass
      UIButton *b = (UIButton *)[self viewWithTag:3232];
      CGPoint inButtonSpace = [self convertPoint:point toView:b];
  
      BOOL isInsideButton = [b pointInside:inButtonSpace withEvent:nil];
  
      if (isInsideButton) {
  
          return isInsideButton;
  
      } // if (YES == isInsideButton)
  
      return isInside;        
  }
  </code></pre>
