How to get touch location on button action (TouchUpInside, TouchDragInside)

[UnretroGamer]

I'm back! I took a long break from iOS development because of school and actually this is the last day of my spring break so I'll be taking another short break after this.

Anyways, I have a view covering the bottom quarter of a view, that I want to slide up. I've tried using touchesMoved and getting the location and updating the center of the covering view but touchesMoved, touchesBegan and all that seem not to work. So now I put a UIControl over the view for when its covering the bottom quarter. My plan is that when you TouchDragInside the UIControl, it updates the center of the covering view and the UIControl. After the UIControl's center passes self.view.center, the covering view goes all the way to the top (completely covering) and the UIControl is removed.

- (IBAction)bottomViewControlTouchDragInside:(id)sender {
    //How do I get the location of the touch when a action is received from a button?
}

to retrieve location of a tap you need to use UIGestureRecognizer

Thanks for the reply, I considered that but I need to get the touch location every time UIControl sends TouchDragInside. So that I can move the entire view with the touch. Updating the location according to the touch location everytime there is a TouchDragInside. Not just for one tap. :/

I want to know the touch's location everytime the TouchDragInside message is sent.

I just saw the UIPanGestureRecognizer in the link you gave me. Could that work? I'm gonna try it out.
