Subview displaying outside the bounds of the parent UIView

Question

I have a UIView that contain another subview. The subview's frame is outside of the bounds of the super view. But the entire subview is visible in when I run the application. Example:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +                          + +       Super view         + +                          + +                          + +     --------------------------                     +     -  Subview           +   -                      +     -                    +   -                      +     --------------------------                     +                          + +                          + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Should be:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +                          + +       Super view         + +                          + +                          + +     ---------------------+                   +     -  Subview           +                        +     -                    +                      +     ---------------------+                    +                          + +                          + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Any idea?

If you're setting up your views in code, set the clipsToBounds property of the superview to YES.

If you're setting up your views in a nib, turn on the “Clip Subviews” checkbox on the superview. It's off by default, as in this screenshot:
