Trouble with UIButton not accepting clicks on half the area.... View Hierarchy issues..?

I have a button place on a view partially... its one half is over the view and the other half is just sort of floating. So if A is my base view and B is placed over it and I have this button added over B. If i click on the button on the part which comes above B it receives the touch and performs the action, but if this touch is outside the area of B than the touch is not performed.... what am I doing wrong here... ? Any help is appreciated.

here is how I am adding the button.. I am trying to dynamically delete buttons similar to the way the apps are deleted in IOS.

UIButton *deletButton1 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] ;
        deletButton1.frame = CGRectMake(25, -5, 30,30);;
        deletButton1.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        deletButton1.tag=1;
        UIImage *buttonImageNormal1 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"delete.png"];
        [deletButton1 setBackgroundImage:buttonImageNormal1 forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [deletButton1 addTarget:self action:@selector(deleteButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[self.addButton1 addSubview:deletButton1];

Here is a screen shot..

you are adding the delete button on addbutton1 so set the background color of addbutton1 and set another color of deletebutton1 and check weather frame is proper or not. i guess your frame is not proper thats why it is happening and make sure your deletebutton1 is not getting hide because of another view.

i am not sure for this but check it once may be it will help you out. [deletButton1 setNeedsDisplay];

For the record, a subview doesn't HAVE to be inside the parent view's frame to receive touches if you override the proper methods of the parent view.

See this thread for more detail:

The button's frame should be started from origin (0,0). I mean button should be completely inside View B. Otherwise the cutted area is not able to receive touch.Make button frame to (25,0,30,30).
