Get size of UIButton

Question

I have a button, created in storyboard and linked in my .h using

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *gridLabel;

I'm trying to find out how big it is inside the viewDidLoad of my .m. For this I use

_gridLabel.bounds.size.width

But this always gives out a fixed number, no matter how big the button actually is. How can I make it work?

I am also getting the size of the screen using

[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width

and this seems to work. So can I do something similar

[[something _gridLabel] bounds].size.width

If so, what is the something?

• Nikita Took: in viewDidLoad there is no correct bounds. Try viewWillAppear or viewDidLayoutSubviews
• user4151918: Possible duplicate of iOS AutoLayout - get frame size width
• quantum_jim: Thanks to both. viewDidLayoutSubviews seems to be working.
