Question

I am trying to display a modal view controller as a UIPresentationFormSheet. The view appears, but I can’t seem to resize it. My XIB has the proper height & width, but it seems to get overridden when I call it like this:

composeTweetController = [[ComposeTweet alloc] initWithNibName:@"ComposeTweet" bundle:nil];
composeTweetController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
[self presentModalViewController:composeTweetController animated:TRUE];

Any thoughts? I am using the iPhone SDK 3.2 beta 4

You are able to adjust the frame of a modal view after presenting it:

Tested in iOS 5.1 – 7.1

MyModalViewController *targetController = [[[MyModalViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
targetController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
targetController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;  //transition shouldn't matter
[self presentViewController:targetController animated:YES completion:nil];

if(floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1){
     targetController.view.superview.frame = CGRectInset(targetController.view.superview.frame, 100, 50);
}else{
     targetController.view.frame = CGRectInset(targetController.view.frame, 100, 50);
     targetController.view.superview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}
