UIView setFrame problem

Question

I must do something wrong, but dont know what..

I try to add a subView with this code:

subMenuView = [[UISubMenuViewMainController alloc] init];

[subMenuView.view setFrame:CGRectMake(10,0,990,100)];

subMenuView.view.backgroundColor  = [UIColor whiteColor];

[self.view addSubview:subMenuView.view];

I want my view to be at (10,0) and have 990/100 in width/height

but i dont get the expected result

Let me if I m wrong, If I want a 10x10 square view at the center i have to add the following line:

[subMenuView.view setFrame:CGRectMake(512,384,10,10)];

That s not what I get, the position is correct, but the width/height are wrong, any ideas?

if you use autolayout,the call setFrame have no use,try call setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints before setFrame

The code is a little unconventional, but I'll hazard a guess it's because you are setting the view's frame before you add it as a subview. Hence the subview's position probably gets changed by layoutSubviews before you see it.

So try putting the second line of code last and see if that does the trick.

I get exactly the same problem with setFrame and the end of the code snippet – Nico AD Jul 30 '11 at 20:43
I dont undestand because I m adding a lot of other controls (UIButton) with this method before and all works perfect. – Nico AD Jul 30 '11 at 20:45

Try using floats instead of ints:

[subMenuView.view setFrame:CGRectMake(10,0,990,100)];

to:

[subMenuView.view setFrame:CGRectMake(10.0f,0.0f,990.0f,100.0f)];
