iphone - How to resize a tableHeaderView of a UITableView?

Question

I'm having trouble resizing a tableHeaderView. It simple doesn't work.

1) Create a UITableView and UIView (100 x 320 px);

2) Set the UIView as tableHeaderView of the UITableView;

3) Build and Go. Everything is ok.

Now, I want to resizing the tableHeaderView, so I add this code in viewDidLoad:

self.tableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myFooterView;

CGRect newFrame = self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = newFrame;

The height of the tableHeaderView should appear with 200, but appears with 100.

If I write:

self.tableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;


CGRect newFrame = myHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
myHeaderView.frame = newFrame;


self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myFooterView;

Then it starts with 200 of height, as I want. But I want to be able to modify it in runtime.

I've also tried this, without success:

self.tableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myFooterView;

CGRect newFrame = self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = newFrame;

[self.tableView.tableHeaderView setNeedsLayout];
[self.tableView.tableHeaderView setNeedsDisplay];
[self.tableView setNeedsLayout];
[self.tableView setNeedsDisplay];

The point here is: How do we resize a tableHeaderView in runtime ???

Have anyone able to do this?

Thanks

FYI: I've gotten this to work by modifying the tableHeaderView and re-setting it. In this case, i'm adjusting the size of the tableHeaderView when the UIWebView subview has finished loading.

[webView sizeToFit];
CGRect newFrame = headerView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + webView.frame.size.height;
headerView.frame = newFrame;
[self.tableView setTableHeaderView:headerView];
