issue with positioning of pop over view

Question

When I am switching between Portrait to Landscape view (&Vice Versa) in iPad, position of my popover view gets garbled. Here is how I am calculating frame of my popover view:

aRect = self.myElement.frame;
aRect.origin.x += aRect.size.width;

[aPopOver presentPopoverFromRect:aRect inView:self.myElement.superview permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionRight animated:YES];

Please tell me whats wrong here?

ok, i notice something weird about your code.

any reason you are adding the size of the wide to the origin of aRect's x position? aRect.origin.x += aRect.size.width;

im assuming you want this to be the top right corner....

You can uncomment the code in your .m file and make it like so:

// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
     Return YES; // for supported orientations
    //otherwise return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape); if you want only landscape mode.
}

Or what i would do in your situation if you want to layout your subviews is use the didRotateFromIntferfaceOrientation: like so:

(void) didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    [self layoutSubviews];
}

and also layoutSubviews

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    NSLog(@"layoutSubviews called");

    ...recalc rects etc based on the new self.view.bounds...
}

It works like so.
