I am using a UIScrollView in an iPhone xib, and a property called myScrollView

  • 0

I am using a UIScrollView in an iPhone xib, and a property called myScrollView to read the size of the scroll view.

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIScrollView *myScrollView;

When I try to read or use the bounds.size of the scroll view it comes out different than the dimentions I have set up in the xib scaled to 320 x 117. But myScrollView.bounds.size.height returns 583. Shouldn’t it read the same? Should I set the size some other way?

log statement: 

NSLog(@"scrollview x y: %f,%f", myScrollView.bounds.size.width, myScrollView.bounds.size.height);

output: 

2012-06-28 11:38:13.150 MyApp[1380:707] scrollview x y: 320.000000,583.000000

    The bounds of an UIView is the rectangle, expressed as a location (x,y) and size (width,height) relative to its own coordinate system (0,0).

    The frame of an UIView is the rectangle, expressed as a location (x,y) and size (width,height) relative to the superview it is contained within.

    You are setting the frame not the bounds in interface builder.
