How do I use a UIView subclass as a container?
- by dxq
I'm trying to subclass UIView to create a custom view that is essentially a container. The subclass contains a UILabel and a UIImageView- I can't make either of them show up. Here's an example of what I've been trying:
In my main view controller:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
ViewClass *myView = [[ViewClass alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 150, 150)];
[view addSubview:myView];
}
return self;
}
In my UIView subclass:
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
UILabel *word = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:[self bounds]] autorelease];
word.text = @"WHY ISN'T THIS SHOWING UP!?";
[self addSubview:word];
}
return self;
}
Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? I'm way out of practice with UIKit and Obj-C, and I figure I'm probably missing something obvious.
