UIPickerView custom size??

[obrand]

Great tutorial!! I was just wondering , if possible, how to have a custom size for the PickerView? Its has some attributes that allows to set width and height, but these have no effect...
Is it because the PickerView gets the size of its superview?

Help would be great!!

Thanks

it is my understanding that pickers are the size they are and you cannot change them.

amm, no they are not.
you can resize the uipickerview by doing this :
myuipickerview.frame = CGRectMake(.....);
that's it.
for some reason initwithframe does not work on it.

Hi, i tried to resize the UIPickerView too. But how come after resizing, the borders of it looks messed up?

and 2nd Q: is it legal to do so?

Thanks.

UPDATE:
I found some ways to change the size thru editing the .xib in text editor too. But result is same, the border became messed up too.

HI,gblank....I am a newbird here.

The method myuipickerview.frame = CGRectMake(.....) I have tried a couple times , but it didn`t work. I don`t know what`s wrong.
Here is my code ， and Can you help me?

UIPickerView *picker=[[UIPickerView alloc] init];
picker.frame= CGRectMake(0, 219, len*13.3, 216);
picker.delegate=self;
picker.dataSource=self;
picker.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
m_job.inputView=picker;   //m_job is a UITextFiled instance
[picker release];
