I have an object that is a subclass of UIView that can be added to a view hierarchy as a subView. I want to be able to remove the UIView from its superView and add it as a subView of the main window and then expand to full screen.

Something along the lines of:

// Remove from superView and add to mainWindow
[self retain];
[self removeFromSuperView];
[self addSubView:mainWindow];

// Animate to full screen
[UIView beginAnimations:@"expandToFullScreen" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
self.frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
[UIView commitAnimations];

[self release];

Firstly am I on the right lines? Secondly, is there an easily way for the object to get a pointer to the mainWindow?

Thanks

Dave
