Question

I have an image view in a basic app that I am attempting to set to hidden on load using:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    my_image.hidden = YES;
}

This code along with some other attribute changes are not functioning at all. I have synthesized the my_image property. Any ideas why this may not be working? Also, please let me know if you need any further information. I’m new to this and it’s really bugging me, so thanks in advance!

It’s hard to make it clear with a simple code line, my_image.hidden = YES;
But I think you can do the things below :

1. Print the imageView (your ‘my_image’ object) in the console to look into it.
2. Use the other properties of the imageView to see if you can manipulate it, such as changing the frame, setting the background color, or setting an image for it. If you can change the frame, then you may set my_image.hidden = NO; somewhere else.
3. Create another UIImageView object and add try it!
4. If none of above works, you can set the frame of ‘my_image’ to CGRectZero to hide it.
