UIView blocking tap events?

[radosch]

I have created a simple UIControl subclass. In its initWithFrame method I create GradientBackgroundView (UIView subclass) and add it as a subview.

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame skinColor:(UIColor*)Color{
    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
        // Initialization code
		self.skinColor = Color;

		self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
		
		GradientBackgroundView* gbView = [[GradientBackgroundView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(4.0, 4.0, frame.size.width-8.0, frame.size.height-8.0)];
		gbView.tintColor = Color;
		gbView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
		[self addSubview:gbView];
		[gbView release];
		
		
		UILabel* label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
		label.text = @"Cancel";
		label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
		label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
		label.numberOfLines = 0;
		[self addSubview:label];
		[label release];
		
    }
    return self;
}

The problem is my target/selector isn't invoked when I tap anywhere within gbView. Tapping within the 4 pixels boundary around it does invoke the target/selector.
It also works when I comment out gbView (leaving only the UILabel as a subview).

It looks like gbView consumes touch events somehow, i.e. blocking them before the UIControl can process them. UILabel obviously doesn't do that.
Is there anything I failed to set in gbView to pass touch events to its superview (UIControl)?

Mea Culpa

I had misunderstood the meaning of userInteractionEnabled property.
It must be set to NO in gbView to let the touches pass over to the superview:

	gbView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

Now it works great!
