Override continueTrackingWithTouch:withEvent: like this to send DragExit/DragOutside events inside of the default gutter:
- (BOOL)continueTrackingWithTouch:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
CGFloat boundsExtension = 25.0f;
CGRect outerBounds = CGRectInset(self.bounds, -1 * boundsExtension, -1 * boundsExtension);
BOOL touchOutside = !CGRectContainsPoint(outerBounds, [touch locationInView:self]);
if(touchOutside)
{
BOOL previousTouchInside = CGRectContainsPoint(outerBounds, [touch previousLocationInView:self]);
if(previousTouchInside)
{
NSLog(@"Sending UIControlEventTouchDragExit");
[self sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDragExit];
}
else
{
NSLog(@"Sending UIControlEventTouchDragOutside");
[self sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDragOutside];
}
}
return [super continueTrackingWithTouch:touch withEvent:event];
}
