UIview frame and bounds properties

Using Swift
1

Hi ,

why UIview frame and bounds properties are not seen outside any functions ?

please advise

thank you
Mohamed Salah

2

Would you mind sharing the code you’re having trouble with?

First of all, the swift-user list is mainly for Swift related question, which are not related to other frameworks like UIKit. You might find a better answer at Apple developer forums or on stackoverflow. ;)

Second, this question is too general and not easy to answer without any code of yours. We need the scopes of your code to solve that issue.

Thanks for your support … here you are the piece of code

import UIKit

class FaceVeiw: UIView {
    
    /* it make error to use frame or bounds outside any functions WHY WHY WHY */

    let width = frame.size.width // (Gives an ERROR) frame property is not known here
    let width2 = bounds.size.width // Gives an ERROR) bound property is not know here as well
    
    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect)
    {
        let w = bounds.size.width // however bounds is known here
        let h = bounds.size.height
        
        let w2 = frame.size.width // frame as well known here
        let h2 = frame.size.height
        
    }
    
}

For this you’ll want to use computed properties. let isn’t the right choice since these aren’t constants—they change as the view resizes. Instead, computed properties using var will work:

extension UIView {

    var width: CGFloat { return frame.size.width }

}

That extension will add a width property to any UIView.

Have you tried using self.? It’s a good practice to always using self. to avoid issues where the compiler might use other globally available variables/constants functions.

The issue is that frame and bounds are only known after the initializer is run. Properties are set before the initializer, and they have can’t access frame and bounds.
