Here is a strange thing, but I couldn't figure it out. I can not programmatically set frame for the button. I have a button with IBOutlet as beyondViewButton and I control-dragged it from view to the ViewController.m file @interface and @end section, then @synthesized it. in the viewDidLoad method, I added this: //x = x + widthToUse * 0.25; //y += h + 50; x = 50; //either hard code x value or set it mathematically, not working y = 300; w = 200; h = 60; //[beyondViewButton setFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, w, h)]; //not working beyondViewButton.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, w, h); //not working //[beyondViewButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bgImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; //this line actually works //[beyondViewButton setTitle:@"iCool!" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [beyondViewButton setTitle:@"iShit!" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; //change from iCool to iShit, I can see change //[self.view addSubview:beyondViewButton]; //either adding this line or not, both work Why I can not set up the frame? One thing, I don't know if relevant, is that this button was set up in the "selection view" which comes from Navigation controller and goes to next view/scene. When this button is clicked, app moves from the "selection view" to the next view --- this was implemented via storyboard. I have not mastered storyboard well yet and have lots of uncertainty about it. Can anyone shed some lights on this? Thanks!! More diagnosis info: I checked the button.description before and after I set frame code: 2012[25830:12503] beyond button <UIRoundedRectButton: 0x8821cd0; frame = (0 0; 0 0); opaque = NO; autoresize = TM+BM; layer = <CALayer: 0x8821da0>> that's before and following is after. Interestingly, the frame values are not what I set, as in code shown here, I have x=50, y=300, w=200, h=60, while NSLog desc
