Question

Why can’t I get the correct frame for a tableViewCell textField?

myCustomCell has a leftDetailTF and a rightDetailTF textfield.

The log statement below generates the same rect coordinates no matter what cell/textfield I tap. LOG: Frame = {{470, 1}, {200, 24}}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

myCustomCell *cell = (myCustomCell*)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

NSLog(@"Frame = %@",NSStringFromCGRect(cell.rightDetailTF.frame));

If you want to check the frame of the subviews with in the superview’s superview you can use this.

  CGRect rect = [cell.rightDetailTF.superview convertRect:cell.rightDetailTF.frame toView:self.view];
NSLog(@"Rect:%@",NSStringFromCGRect(rect));
