The best way to do this is to change the bounds property on the superview of the view being presented inside the formsheet. When you present a view modally, the presented view is embedded inside another view.

You should set the bounds property of the superview to the same rect as the view's bounds. First add a private ivar in your class:

@implementation MySpecialFormsheet {
    CGRect _realBounds;
} 

It's best to do this in viewWillAppear:. Add the following code to the view controller that is being presented modally:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.view.superview.bounds = _realBounds;
}

You need to cache _realBounds in your viewDidLoad method:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    _realBounds = self.view.bounds;
    [super viewDidLoad];
}
