On the iPhone SDK, is there a way I can disable touch interactions on the textview? In a way that allows touches to be recieved by things behind it?

Question

For my iPhone game I wrote the entire thing in OpenGL ES, and now I'm trying to overlay a TextView to display a scoreboard. The problem is now my touch input doesn't work correctly, because the Textview is recieving the touch input rather than my opengl view. Is there a way I can just disable touch interactions on the textview?

Accepted Answer

Found the answer, in case anyone else runs in to this: [textView setUserInteractionEnabled:false]; It does in fact send touches to the things behind it.
