Specify height of UIToolbar in Storyboard

Question

When I try to change the height of a UIToolbar through Storyboard, the option is greyed out.

I'm aware I can do this programatically, but is there any alternative way to do it on my storyboard, perhaps by using a different interface item? It'd be better to have it all on storyboard, to avoid code confusion. Or should I not be changing the height - is that likely to get it rejected from the app store?

My end goal is a toolbar with 50 x 50 image icons on, and a bit of padding.

N.B. I've read this question - but here, the accepted answer doesn't seem to actually answer the question...

I could change the height of a segment control by adding a height constraint ( using auto layout ). Can you check if this works for you? – Gaylord

Yes, it did! Even more infuriating...if you can 'force' it in like that, why not allow it by default! Thanks a lot - if you want to post that as a full answer, I'll accept! @RainerSchwarze – Rola

Answer 1

If you use auto layout, you could set a Height Constraint. This worked for me on a UISegmentedControl, but I did not test it on a UIToolbar.

In case you like to take a look at my orginal problem: https://mcmap.net/q/2031936/-auto-layout-in-navigation-controller-with-uisegmentedcontrol-good-in-ios7-bad-in-ios6/1396265 . Apparently the segmented control causes some issues with auto layout when using a navigation controller :-) Unfortunately I couldn't fix my problem with an IB-only solution... – Gaylord

Ugh - horrible! Fortunately this is app is for internal company use, so I can essentially specify iOS7 only. Cheers! – Rola
