modalviewcontroller

I am presenting a modal view controller. If it matters, it is scrolling up from the bottom. How can I control what portion of the screen it occupies? EDIT: I have the following in the modal view controller. It's not helping. - (void)viewDidLoad { TestResultView *trv = [[TestResultView alloc]initWithTest: [Model m].currentTest]; self.view = trv; trv.frame = CGRectMake(0, 320, 320, 160); [trv release]; [super viewDidLoad]; } You can modify the frame of the view controller, but if you're using UIViewController's -presentModalViewController:animated: method, the view behind will be unloaded once

On the iPad we get much more room to work with, so presenting full screen modal views is not ideal. I know how to present modal views in the new formSheet and a close approach can be found on this question: iPad iTunes Animation The problem is that you cannot choose where the animation will come from, so it just defaults and appears from the center, I want to customize it so that it appears from a specific location. The best example I can find for this animation can be seen on the first few seconds of this video If anyone can point me on the right direction using code, tutorials or

I have a couple of modal view controllers of certain size. I'm trying to avoid the use of custom views (creating full screen black translucent overlay over current view, add the modal view over that view, do the animations, etc) to present it because there is no modalPresentationStyle that fits the size of my controllers. Now I'm using UIModalPresentationPageSheet but my view is smaller in height and I have an ugly blank space Desired presentation _______________ | _______ | | | | | | | MyVC | | | | | | | ------- | --------------- Actual presentation _______________ | | | | | | MyVC | | | | |

I am trying to update a UILabel in a parent View after someone makes a change in a modal view. So, after they click "save" ... the newly entered value would change what text is displayed on the parent view controller. But, I can't seem to get that UILabel to refresh the newly entered value. Any ideas on what I can try? I've tried a few things, but being the view is already loaded, nothing is getting "refreshed". Thanks! There are many ways to do this. One way is to use NSNotificationCenter to be able to do calls between different classes. So in the parent view you will have a function

I am presenting a modalviewcontroller from another modalviewcontroller. When I dismiss the second modalviewcontroller both the first and second modalviewcontroller should get dismissed. I tried to access the first modalview like [self.view.superview dismissmodalviewcontroller]; but it is showing error. What is the right way to get a ref to the first modalViewController from the second one and invoke the dismiss method from it? Its like this. A presents B. Here, A is parent of B (Here, A.modalViewController will be B and B.parentViewController will be A) And B presents C. Here, B is parent of C
