How to make self.view clickable when using MBProgressHUD?

Question

I am using MBProgressHUD for displaying some messages in iphone app.

Message dimensions are around 200x20 and I set auto hide after 1 second. The problem is that in that 1 second self.view is not clickable.

How can I set self.view to be clickable above and under that message in self.view?

MBProgressHUD functions by displaying the hud as a modal overlay:

The MBProgressHUD window spans over the entire space given to it by the initWithFrame constructor and catches all user input on this region, thereby preventing the user operations on components below the view. The HUD itself is drawn centered as a rounded semi-transparent view witch resizes depending on the user specified content.

I've found ZAActivityBar to be a good alternative to MBProgressHUD as it doesn't intercept taps to the view. See the GitHub page for more information.
