I have since had some issues using the method I described in that blog post with iPhone OS 3.0 but you can find more information in one of my questions on <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1585688/view-controller-being-sent-a-message-even-though-it-has-been-deallocated" rel="nofollow">www.stackoverflow.com</a>. You can register your controller to listen for device orientation changes and then move your views accordingly which is probably the best way of going about doing what you want to do. Hope that helps and if you have already found a method of doing it, it would be great to hear about it. Hi Scott,

Basically, I want to leave everything in my interface right where it is, but rotate all the buttons in-place so they always appear right-side-up. Do you think it would it be better for me to just write my own test in the accelerometer delegate method in my app delegate, or should I go ahead and handle this in my view controller(s)? I guess it comes down to whether shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is called every time the device rotates, or just at the initialization of the view. Thoughts?

Thoughts?

I accidentally left out the line return YES at the end of the method. Thanks for that.

Is this a typo? In step 2 your code for shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: doesn’t return a BOOL, and seems more like the code you’d put in will/didRotateToInterfaceOrientation. Is this a typo?
