UITableViewController as a subview getting error - ios

Question

I have a UIViewController which is being loaded onto my UIViewController as a subview, however I am getting this error
Property 'frame' not found on object of type 'mynamedTableViewController *'
This is what my code looks like for the UIViewController.
.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "FilterButtonsTableViewController.h"
#interface MainFilterViewController : UIViewController
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *applyButton;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *cancelButton;
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *clearAllButton;
#property (strong, nonatomic) FilterButtonsTableViewController *filterButtonsTableViewController;
#end
.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
// add header label
UILabel *noteHeaderLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(25.0, 0.0, 200.0, 45.0)];
noteHeaderLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
noteHeaderLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
// dynamic using whatViewName
noteHeaderLabel.text = #"Filter";
[self.view addSubview:noteHeaderLabel];
// add underlines
// top
UIView *topUnderline = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 45.0, self.view.frame.size.width, 1.0)];
topUnderline.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
topUnderline.alpha = 0.8;
// bottom
UIView *bottomUnderline = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, self.view.frame.size.height-45.0, self.view.frame.size.width, 1.0)];
bottomUnderline.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
bottomUnderline.alpha = 0.8;
// addviews
[self.view addSubview:topUnderline];
[self.view addSubview:bottomUnderline];
// add buttons to view
// apply
applyButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
applyButton.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[applyButton addTarget:self action:#selector(alertViewSelected:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[applyButton setTitle:#"Save" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
applyButton.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.size.width - 130, self.view.frame.size.height - 43, 120.0, 40.0);
[self.view addSubview:applyButton];
// cancel
cancelButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
cancelButton.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[cancelButton setTitleColor:[UIColor redColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[cancelButton addTarget:self action:#selector(alertViewSelected:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cancelButton setTitle:#"Cancel" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
cancelButton.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.size.width - 260, self.view.frame.size.height - 43, 120.0, 40.0);
[self.view addSubview:cancelButton];
// cancel
clearAllButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
clearAllButton.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[clearAllButton setTitleColor:[UIColor redColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[clearAllButton addTarget:self action:#selector(alertViewSelected:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[clearAllButton setTitle:#"Clear filter" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
clearAllButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, self.view.frame.size.height - 43, 120.0, 40.0);
[self.view addSubview:clearAllButton];
//TavleView
filterButtonsTableViewController = [[[FilterButtonsTableViewController alloc] init];
filterButtonsTableViewController.frame:CGRectMake(5.0, 65.0, (self.view.frame.size.width/2)-10, 235.0);
[self.view addSubview:filterButtonsTableViewController.view];
}

Answer 1

A viewcontroller does not have a frame property, only its view does.
Try this instead :
filterButtonsTableViewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(5.0, 65.0, (self.view.frame.size.width/2)-10, 235.0);

Answer 2

#interface MainFilterViewController : UIViewController
filterButtonsTableViewController = [[FilterButtonsTableViewController alloc] init];
[self.view addSubview:filterButtonsTableViewController.view];
// this code helps you to add tableview controller as a sub view.
#interface FilterButtonsTableViewController
self.view.frame=CGRectMake(0, 50, 150, 150);
// frame of the tableviewController is set on his class.
