Resizing UITableViewCell as a subview

[MahatmaManic]

I have a UITableViewCell, which I want to add manually as a subview to a UIImageView. The imageview is set to automagically resize its subviews, but when the cell is added as a subview, it keeps its original size (too long horizontally and too short vertically).

I've tried a variety of things, from modifying the frame, modifying the bounds, and playing with the autoResizingMask of the parent view, but nothing seems to quite work properly. A few different solutions have seemed like they -sort- of work, but then move odd pieces of the cell (such as the disclosure) to an unexpected location on the screen.

Can anyone provide any insight as to why this might be happening, and how I might get the cell to play nicely with its new superview?

It looks like the thread has lots of views but no answers, and since I figured out something that seems to -mostly- work, I thought I would share in the hopes that it might prove handy to others.

If I set the frame values of the table view cell to be equal to the -bounds- values of the image view, -before- I insert the view cell as a subview, then it seems to mostly work the way I want. It still allows text to overflow the table cell if it's particularly long, but it is working way better than anything else I tried. If anyone else has an improvement let me know
