Question

a UIScrollView works just fine by it’s self (in IB). However, once you put the UIScrollView inside of a UIVIew in IB, it no longer works. I’m doing this with no subclassing so what’s the deal?

Answer

• You have to make sure Autoresize Subviews is checked on the containing UIView.
• The next part is a bit of a hack. You need to assign a new frame to the containing UIView as well. However, the new frame CANNOT be the pre-existing size of your UIView. It must be a different size for this to work.

If you want the size contained on your UIView in InterfaceBuilder then you need to do something like this:

self.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,0,0);
self.frame = [put your desired rect size here];

Answer 1

Have you tried returning NO in touchesBegan if the touch falls inside your scroll view’s frame?

Edit:
Make sure you set the scroll view’s content size ([[self scrollView] setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320,480)]; – the values do not matter) and make sure you check “Bounce Horizontally” and/or “Bounce Vertically” (depending on which you want) as well as “Bounces”:
