It turns out that you *can* exercise the autolayout engine for any view hierarchy by sending layoutIfNeeded to it. A lucky discovery. So I can certainly make a hierarchy and lay it out with constraints and autolayout, without putting that hierarchy into the visible interface. My problem now is just that I can't seem to find the autolayout fu that will cause a view containing a label to be laid out by the label, rather than the other way round. In other words, I have a view superview and a label subview; I am resizing the label by giving it text content and saying sizeToFit; and now the label is the right size. So now I am going to exercise autolayout, and I want the view superview to resize to meet the constraints relating the superview to the label - what's happening instead is that the label is resizing again and the superview is staying the same. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 5! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023562.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
