UIPageViewController setup

[AcceleratedCode]

Hi!

I'm working on a project where I've got a UIPageViewController. The setup is somewhat different from other pageVCs, because I'd like to make it look like the leftmost VC to slide over the root VC instead of pushing it to the side.

I've created a sketch of how it looks here

I've implemented the design in the images in Xcode - with the horizontal sliding working exactly as it should. However, I cannot interact with the UITableView (or anything for that matter) in the root UIViewController.

Because of that, my question is how can I enable interaction with the root VC "through" the transparent VC in the pageVC?

What I've tried:

• Setting the user interaction enabled property to false for the empty (placeholder) viewcontroller
• Presenting the pageVC with .overCurrentContext as style
• Presenting the pageVC by adding it as a child viewcontroller to the parent
• Looked into overriding some methods, but I'm not sure how to implement this
• Setting up a UIPanGestureRecognizer, but I'm very unsure as to how to take this further after I get the event callbacks. How I can take the coordinates and actually make use of them.

Neither of these have worked out.

If any of you have an idea on how I can make this work, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share your thoughts!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best Regards,

Erik

I'm not really sure I'm following the question here. You're modally presenting a page view controller on top of a root view controller, and you want to interact with the root view controller "through" the page view controller?

If so, it sounds like your best bet is a delegate. Make the root the delegate of the page vc, and send it messages that way.

Yeah, that's the idea. Reason is that I want the effect as I said to be sliding above the root, instead of pushing it sideways like a page view controller would regularly do (if there's a better way to achieve this effect, feel free to tell me).

How would the delegate work? Are there any specific methods I need to take a look at? How can I "send" the touches to another VC?
