UIElements in subclass with uiscrollview are non responsive - ios

Question

I have a class that provides a custom menu for all its subclasses, but since i started using the text field have run to the keyboard problem so i use the normal method and embed the subclass in a resizing uiscrollview. the problem is that the scrollview doesnt cover the menu that belongs to its super class.
The idea that came to mind is to create a scrollview in the super class and inside the scrollview put the menu. I run it and everything seemed to be okay until i couldn't interact with anything on the screen other than the navigation bar and the menu which lead me to believe that maybe the subclass uielements are not subviews of the scrollview.
The problem even expands since in the subclasses I create uielements in the storyboard and in code. My question would be how to make that all uielements created in the subclass and added in self.view become subviews of the superclass' scrollview.
