Designing inside a scrollview in xcode 4.2 with storyboards

Question

I have a vertically scrolling uiscrollview - imagine an \'about this app\' page of a tab bar app which goes on a bit and requires a scrollview. It only contains a few images

Answer 1

I feel your pain. The only way I found is to manually pan the scroll view in the size inspector to reveal the portion of the view that you wish to visually edit.

Use a UIView to contain elements so they are positioned relatively to this view. Add the view as a subview to the scrollview at 0,0.

1. pan: use the Y coordinate say to -200, then edit the contents.
2. to place more contents in the hidden part, pan again to reveal new real-estate
3. when finished, restore the values of the ScrollView's height and X,Y position.

Make sure the scroll view frame rectangle is smaller than the contained view.
