Making a created (programmatically) viewController Rotate - iphone

Question

I have made a viewController programmatically and I want to force it to rotate whenever the device is rotated .
in simple viewController you create using the normal way by adding a new file and so there a "shouldAutoRotate" method ..
but in my case it's different especiall that I create this viewController in a viewController!
and I don't want to create a new viewController.
this is the code I used to create the viewcontroller
UIViewController *featuresViewController = [[UIViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"featrures" bundle:nil];
[featuresViewController setView:[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 380, 450 )]];
[featuresViewController.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
featuresViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;
featuresViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
[self presentModalViewController:featuresViewController animated:YES];

Easier to add this as another answer...
Probably not the best place to do this, but if you're struggling on how to code your FeaturesViewController, it'll be something like this -
.h -
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface FeaturesViewController : UIViewController {
// ivar declarations...
}
#end
.m -
#import "FeaturesViewController.h"
#implementation FeaturesViewController
-(id)init {
self = [super initWithNibName:#"FeaturesViewController" bundle:nil];
if (self) {
// other init stuff
}
return self;
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// return YES for whatever orientations you want
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
Then in your main VC, present it like this -
FeaturesViewController *featuresViewController = [[[FeaturesViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
featuresViewController.modalTransitionStyle=UIModalTransitionStylePartialCurl;
featuresViewController.modalPresentationStyle=UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
[self presentViewController:featuresViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

Add following code in you application...
//add following line before #implementation
#interface UIDevice (UndocumentedFeatures)
-(void)setOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation animated:(BOOL)animated;
-(void)setOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation;
#end
//here you can use following code in any method..i just used here in sample method...
-(IBAction)rotateviewprogramatically
{
**//you can also add this in Viewdidload or Viewwillappear...it will work...**
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
//or
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
}
// Change following code.... add following method in you code...i checked it's working...
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);// don't use this
return YES; // use this...
}
Hope, it will help you...chill

I don't understand what you mean when you say you create the viewController in a viewController - I think where you create it is irrelevant. It's also irrelevant that you create it programmatically, as you still have to have written the code...
In your VC's code, simply implement the normal shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method (this example allows either of the landscape orientations) -
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
