Getting the outer CGRect

I have two UIViews, both of which obviously have CGRects each. One UIView fills the screen whereas the other just fills part of it in the middle. I have the CGRect of the smaller UIView, but how can I get the CGRect of the one outside of it - excluding the size of the smaller one so that the background can be dimmed, but not the content of the inner UIView?

This is what my UIViewController looks like so you can get a better idea of what I'm trying to do:

I want to dim the outer UIView, not the inner one - but I don't have the CGRect of the outer one excluding the inner UIView so I've had to do it the other way around for now.

Solution

  • A CGRect is a square size. If you want to know the outer aria you need to compute 4 CGRects. The top, left, right and bottom space.
