iOS Storyboard: how do you edit a content view lar

Question

I have a view that is larger than screen, I need to put it in a UIScrollView.

So I first add an UIViewController to story board, then, I add a UIScrollView to the root view of my view controller, then when I add subviews of UIScrollView, but I can't add them outside the scrollview area I can see, how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Edit 1:

1) put your subview into scrollview's visible area

2) change frame of the new subview as you wish

3) change contentSize property of scrollview with runtime attributes

Edit 2: u can create a new view with xib, which contains all your subviews, and then add this view on scrollview OR u can use storyboard's Container View like this:

p.s.: don't forget about contentSize (point 3 in my first edit), but if you are using auto-layout, you need to set it programmatically like this:

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    _scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 250);
}

Answer 2

1. put a scroll view in the view controller ,and put a view inside the scroll view named containerView.
2. design the big content in another view controller (named bigContentView)
3. in code ,view load event ,

a. get the bigContentView by storyboard Id. ( get the controller and use controller.view)

b. create the outlet to the containerView.

c. update the containerView's frame according your requirement.(update the width and height)

d. bigContentView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;

e. containerView addSubView:bigContentView.

Answer 3

Change the simulated size of the view controller to Freeform and then you can set the size to whatever you want. After editing, you may want to set it back.
