I have created a UIImageView and I want to add a UITextView as a subview beneath the image. Is there any way that I can configure this using the Interface Builder instead of hardcoding it? If not, in which part of the code should I insert the subview to and what else do I need to change?

  • I'm not sure I understand. You want this label to be a subview of image view or you want it to always stick under image view no matter how tall this image is or what? – Filip Radelic Aug 06 '11 at 11:19

Create View and then put both of them inside of that.

View-->

    |
    --->imageView
    |
    --->textView

  • It would be nice if Interface Builder allowed this, but it does appear that your are forced to create just a regular UIView container for both the image and the text view. However, you may not need to create a new container view, since it might turn out that you already have a single master view. In that case, just drag the UITextView over the UIImageView. – Skotch Jul 31 '13 at 01:23

You should just be able to do:

[myImageView insertSubview:myTextView atIndex:0];

If you want it actually to be "part of" the UIImageView I don't think you can do it in Interface Builder. But this is a normal method of extending UIKit views.

Yes you can do it in Interface Builder - see the image

enter image description here

To get this view, at the bottom there is an < arrow image. Click to get this. After that its drag your UI element underneath any other element to add that element as a subview of that UI element...

Of course you can do this in code by simply writing [someView addSubView:newView];
