How to set NSView size programmatically?

Question

How do you set the size of NSView programmically e.g.

    -(void)awakeFromNib {
        self.frame.size.width   = 1280;   // Does nothing...
        self.fra         


        

Answer 1

When you call self.frame, it returns the data in the frame, and not a pointer. Therefore, any change in the result is not reflected in the view. In order to change the view, you have to set the new frame after you make changes:

- (void)awakeFromNib {
    NSRect f = self.frame;
    f.size.width = 1280;
    f.size.height = 800;
    self.frame = f;
    //...
}
