How can I add a UITapGestureRecognizer to a UILabel inside a table view cell?

Question

I am using a NIB file to layout a custom table view cell. This cell has a label with outlet called lblName. Adding a UITapGestureRecognizer to this label never fires the assoc

EASY WAY:

You may also use a invisible button on the top of that label. So it will reduce your work of adding tapGesture for that label.

ALTERNATIVE WAY:

You should not create an IBOutlet for that UILabel. When you do that,you will add a outlet in custom class implementation file. You cannot access in other file. So set a tag for that label in custom class IB and write a code in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method.

UPDATED:

In cellForRowAtIndexPath: method,

for(UIView *view in cell.contentViews.subviews) {
    if(view.tag == 1) {
        UITapGestureRecognizer *tap=[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapAction)];
        [tap setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
        [view addGestureRecognizer:tap];
    }
}
