Subclass of UIView receive action?

[johnlikesit]

Hey guys.

I want to make a grid like in photos.app. (I don't want to use Three20 ;-))

I got a UIViewController and a custom subclass of UIView.

my customView.h

@interface customView : UIView {

}
-(void)showOverlay;
-(void)hideOverlay;

@end

I allocate an instance of that cutomView in my UIViewController with

customView *myCustomView = [[customView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,200,200)];

If I doubletap the instance of the custom view, the subview turn black(the overlay)

If I want to hide that overlay I have to call the function -(void)hideOverlay within my subclass.

But how do I access that subclass?

I thought of delegate but didn't get it working.

Later if this will work I want to make many instances (as required in a grid :-))

Thanks a lot!!!
