    <p>I want to disable touches on all areas of the screen apart from a specific few points (e.g buttons). I.e. I don't want 'touchesBegan' to trigger at all when I tap anything other than a button. Calling </p> <pre><code> self.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO; </code></pre> <p>has the desired effect for not registering touches, but then of course I can't tap any buttons. I basically want the button to still work, <strong>even if there are 5 points touching the screen, i.e. all touch inputs have been used up, and the button represents the 6th.</strong> </p> <p>Is this possible?</p> <p>I've tried inserting a view with userInteraction disabled below my buttons, but it still registers touches when the user taps the screen. It seems the only way to disable touch registering is to do so on the entire screen (on the parent UIView). </p> <p>UPDATE: I've tried using gesture recognizers to handle all touch events, and ignore those that don't qualify. Here is my code: </p> <pre><code>@interface ViewController : UIViewController &lt;UIGestureRecognizerDelegate&gt; </code></pre> <p>...</p> <pre><code> - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UIGestureRecognizer *allRecognizer = [[UIGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:nil]; allRecognizer.delegate = self; [self.view addGestureRecognizer:allRecognizer]; } - (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch { CGPoint coords = [touch locationInView:self.view]; NSLog(@"Coords: %g, %g", coords.x, coords.y); if (coords.y &lt; 200) { [self ignoreTouch:touch forEvent:nil]; return TRUE; } return FALSE; } - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { NSLog(@"%i touch(es)", [touches count]); } </code></pre> <p>However the screen still 'reads' the touches, so if I place 5 fingers down, the 6th one won't trigger a button press... </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
