Makeing view resize to its parent when added with addSubview.

Question

Hy i'm having problem when using addSubview. Example code:

ParentView *myParentView = [[ParentView alloc] initWithNibName:@"ParentView " bundle:nil];
ChildeView *myChildeView = [[ChildeView alloc] initWithNibName:@"ChildeView" bundle:nil];

//...  parent frame resized with setFrame lets say to x:0, y:0, W:320, H:411

[[myParentView view] addSubview: [myChildeView view]];

My chield when added is bigger then the parent, and do not resize it frame to parent bounds. I can't use "clip subviews" on the parent , and "Autoresize Subviews" seems not to work if parent frame do not resized again. Is there a property that make subviews resize automatically to it's parent bounds, without using setFrame on every child.

Answer 1

Have you tried setting the child view's autoresize mask? Try this:

[ myChildeView setAutoresizingMask:( UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth |
                                     UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight )];

Also, you may need to call

[ myParentView setAutoresizesSubviews:YES ];

to get the parent view to resize the child view(s) automatically.

Answer 2

Yes, I also tried to make parent view a simple UIView controle placed and resized in IB.

You can always do it in your UIViews - (void)didMoveToSuperview method. It will get called when added or removed from your parent (nil when removed). At that point in time just set your size to that of your parent. From that point on the autoresize mask should work properly.
