Create outlets from views that were created in StoryBoard    IBOutlet weak var redView  UIView   IBOutlet weak var orangeView  UIView   IBOutlet weak var greenView  UIView       Override the touchesBegan method  There are 2 options  everyone can determine which one is better for him    Detect touch in special view   override func touchesBegan   touches  Set lt UITouch gt   with event  UIEvent          if let touch   touches first           if touch view    self redView               tapOnredViewTapped             else if touch view    self orangeView               orangeViewTapped             else if touch view    self greenView               greenViewTapped             else               return                     Detect touch point on special view   override func touchesBegan   touches  Set lt UITouch gt   with event  UIEvent         if let touch   touches first           let location   touch location in  view          if redView frame contains location                redViewTapped             else if orangeView frame contains location                orangeViewTapped             else if greenView frame contains location                greenViewTapped                         Lastly  you need to declare the functions that will be called  depending on which view the user clicked   func redViewTapped         print  redViewTapped      func orangeViewTapped         print  orangeViewTapped      func greenViewTapped         print  greenViewTapped

Put this in your UIView subclass  it s easiest if you make a sublcass for this functionality    class YourView  UIView        Define your initialisers here    override func touchesBegan touches  Set lt NSObject gt   withEvent event  UIEvent        if let touch   touches first as  UITouch         let currentPoint   touch locationInView self           do something with your currentPoint              override func touchesMoved touches  Set lt NSObject gt   withEvent event  UIEvent        if let touch   touches first as  UITouch         let currentPoint   touch locationInView self           do something with your currentPoint              override func touchesEnded touches  Set lt NSObject gt   withEvent event  UIEvent        if let touch   touches first as  UITouch         let currentPoint   touch locationInView self           do something with your currentPoint
