Custom UISlider - Increase “hot spot” size

Question

I have a custom UISlider that is relatively tough for big fingered people to grab hold of and slide due to the size of the \"thumb image\". Is there any way to increase the

Answer 1

I ended up subclassing the UISlider and overriding this method:

- (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent*)event {
    CGRect bounds = self.bounds;
    bounds = CGRectInset(bounds, -10, -15);
    return CGRectContainsPoint(bounds, point);
}

This extends the touchable area by 10 pixels on the left and right and 15 pixels on the top and bottom.
