Question

How to make a UIView subview NOT scroll.

Answer 1

A:

Don't add the 'busy view' to the table view, add it to the window. This will place it above everything else onscreen:

[self.view.window addSubview: busyView];

Jim, I tried this but then it didn't show the view at all. here is my code: busyView = [[BusyView alloc] initWithNibName:@"BusyView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]]; [self.view addSubview:busyView.view];

It should just be a case of using [self.view.window addSubview: busyView.view]. Also, it sounds as though 'BusyView' is actually an subclass of 'UIViewController' rather than 'UIView' -- in which case it's probably better to name your subclass BusyViewController for better clarity.

Make sure that self.view and self.view.window are both non-nil before adding to them. If you're doing this in an init call, for example, it may not work. If you're doing it before you show self.view to the window, it will not work. You could try adding it to the window by instead using [(UIWindow *)([[UIApplication sharedApplication].windows objectAtIndex:0]) addSubview: busyView];

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. Ed, yours worked. I ended up using [(UIWindow *)([[UIApplication sharedApplication].windows objectAtIndex:0]) addSubview: busyView.view];
