Question

From top to bottom I have UIView, UIScrollView, a UIImage, a UILabel, a UITextView and a UIButton.

My reason behind the top-most UIScrollView was so the whole vertical content would scroll.

What I really need a substitute for is the UITextView (5th down) because the UITextView is a subclass of UIScrollView. And this substitute must accomodate the very tall column of formatted text.

What I don’t want is a scrollable object in the middle of the page; I want the whole page to be scrollable.

One more thing … please note there’s a button immediately below this tall column of text.

THANK YOU! Ashack and Pentagp. I guess I finally had to surrender and dump the idea that IB could be used for all GUI …

The entire UIView contains a UILabel, a UIImage, a UITextView and
a UIButton at the very bottom.

The goal here was to make this entire content scrollable.

Thanks to you guys at stackoverflow.com:

1. using IB, un-check “Scrolling Enabled” for the UITextView
   because it’s a concrete type of UIScrollView
2. using IB, drag a UIScrollView to the UIView and match sizes and
   insure that the UIScrollView encloses all sub-views
3. make the UITextView height = its contentSize.height
4. move the UIButton to below this UITextView

and then, thanks to iphonedevsdk.com:

1. adjust the contentSize.height of the top-most UIScrollview to
   include the height of the re-positioned UIButton

Problem solved!!!
