Alter CGRect (or any struct)?

Question

I do this quite a bit in my code:

self.sliderOne.frame  = CGRectMake(newX, 0, self.sliderOne.frame.size.width, self.sliderOne.frame.size.height); 
         


        

Answer 1

The issue here is that self.sliderOne.frame.origin.x is the same thing as [[self sliderOne] frame].origin.x. As you can see, assigning back to the lValue here is not what you want to do.

So no, that "tedious" code is necessary, although can be shortened up a bit.

CGRect rect = thing.frame;
thing.frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(rect), CGRectGetMinY(rect) + 10, etc...);
