Prevent UIButton press when scrolling

I have two UIButtons in table cells that inconveniently press when scrolling. How can I prevent this?

Is there some property or sent event I can set so the button is only pressed when a user releases the press rather than as soon as the button is pressed?

I played around with the different touch events (Touch Up Inside and Touch Down) and neither seemed to resolve this issue.

In interface builder change the tag values of the buttons to a number greater than 10 (or some value). Subclass UIScrollView and override:

-(BOOL) touchesShouldCancelInContentView:(UIView *)view {

if(view.tag>10) {
    NSLog(@"should A");
    return YES;
} else return NO;

}

Your scrollView should have the property canCancelContentTouches set to YES and delaysContentTouches set to NO

You can listen for the tableview's scrolling delegate callbacks and turn off your buttons they are being scrolled

- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)activeScrollView {

    //I assume the buttons are within your cells so you will have to enable them within your cells so you will probably have to handle this by sending a custom message to your cells or accessing them with properties.
    [yourButton setEnabled: NO];
}

and listen for

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{
   // do the same to enable them back
   [yourButton setEnabled: YES];
}
