Creating Custom Sized Views Xamarin.iOS - ios

Question

I have created a View in Xamarin with a backing class and was wondering if I can create an instance of that class with a CGRect size. I have the following code right now:
using System;
using CoreGraphics;
using Foundation;
using UIKit;
namespace SimpleScroll.iOS
{
public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
{
public ViewController(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
{
}
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
// Perform any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
// UIScrollView with same width and height as ViewController
var mainScrollView = new UIScrollView(new CGRect(0, 0, this.View.Frame.Size.Width, this.View.Frame.Size.Height));
// Enable pagination and set other attributes
mainScrollView.PagingEnabled = true;
mainScrollView.ShowsVerticalScrollIndicator = false;
mainScrollView.ShowsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false;
mainScrollView.Bounces = false;
int numberOfViews = 2;
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfViews; i++)
{
nfloat xOrigin = i * this.View.Frame.Size.Width;
var subView = new UIView(new CGRect(xOrigin, 0, this.View.Frame.Size.Width, this.View.Frame.Size.Height));
subView.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromRGBA(0.5f / i, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1);
mainScrollView.AddSubview(subView);
}
mainScrollView.ContentSize = new CGSize(this.View.Frame.Size.Width * numberOfViews, this.View.Frame.Size.Height);
this.View.AddSubview(mainScrollView);
}
public override void DidReceiveMemoryWarning()
{
base.DidReceiveMemoryWarning();
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
}
}
Instead of var subView = new UIView(new CGRect(xOrigin, 0, this.View.Frame.Size.Width, this.View.Frame.Size.Height));, would I be able to do the same thing with my own Menu class that I have created? How could I give Menu its own constructor so that I can do something along the lines of, var subView = new Menu(new CGRect(...));?

Answer 1

Just subclass uiview and override the frame constuctor
[Foundation.Register("Menu")]
public class Menu : UIView
{
public Menu(CGRect frame) : base(frame)
{
}
}
