Content changes when using autolayout

Question

In xib table is having 1 rows Dynamically as the app progresses in table from code there are 3 rows. In table view I have button in cell on whole click I need to show one pop up view and set its frame according to cell frame On the click I set frame of that pop up view As soon as the pop up view's frame is set the view is seen as it is seen in xib that is now instead of 3 rows there is only 1 row as in xib

These all happens when I set auto layout to true If I set auto layout false there is no problem I am not writing code as there is no code except I set frame with CGRECT

Can you post some code or screenshots of what happens? It's hard to get that from the description. — Arek Holko
please write down code you had written, this make your question clear and will make easy to understand your problem — Kamal Bhardwaj
I have edited question as the thing happens, only on setting frame, I have not written code, On button click I set frame, and if autolayout is true may be due to layout subview methods of view controller the interface changes. I am not understanding what to do. I want to use autolayout — Anjani
If you want to use auto-layout then you must need to do more than just set frame or add subview. for auto-layout you have to deal with constraints. for more detail study auto-layout and working with constraints — Usman Nisar

got it

in viewDidLoad I wrote self.tblTemp.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = YES;

so now my table does not change frame.

In the scenario above I used autolayout in the view as I used the constraints for other controls, but I did not want to use for these particular table. I did not use any constraints for table view, as I needed to change its frame dynamically. so I put the above line

Previously table was automatically changing the frame to the one set in xib, on changing any particular frame(I need to show or hide pop up view on some cell button click, so I just set frame there)

I think here apple is translating my auto resizing constraints to auto layout ones. I am not still not sure how it is working. I read some where in apple guidelines about translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints, as actually by default it is YES.

If anyone finds useful
