UISearchBar not responding when clicked

Question

I've been trying to find the solution for hours, but alas no dice... I've been trying to implement a UISearchBar purely programatically (no xib, no interface builder). Here is my .h header: ``` @interface RLCASearchMasterViewController : UIViewController<UISearchBarDelegate> @property (strong, nonatomic) RLCAGUIElements *gui; @property (strong, nonatomic) RLCAUITableView *table; @property (strong, nonatomic) UISearchBar *searchBar; @end ``` and my .m implementation: ``` @synthesize searchBar; - (void)loadView { [super loadView]; searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, searchBar.frame.size.height)]; searchBar.delegate = self; [self.view addSubview:searchBar]; } ``` I'd gone over this I don't know how many times, and have no idea what I'm doing wrong... The UISearchBar is added to the view just fine, with the correct size and all, however when clicked/tapped, the keyboard does not come up.…

Accepted Answer

Okay, I got it to work.

It works but I have no idea why. If someone has any insight, I would be very grateful...

So:

I replaced:

```
searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x,         self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, searchBar.frame.size.height)];
searchBar.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:searchBar]; 
```

with:

```
searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] init];
searchBar.delegate = self;
[searchBar sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:searchBar];
```

...aaand, VIOLA! ;)

Thanks for all the answers though, and as mentioned, would appreciate an explanation why this worked and what it did.

All the best, Piotr.
