Alter CGRect (or any struct)?

Question

I do this quite a bit in my code:

self.sliderOne.frame  = CGRectMake(newX, 0, self.sliderOne.frame.size.width, self.sliderOne.frame.size.height);

Yeah, you have to do:

CGRect newFrame = self.sliderOne.frame;
newFrame.origin.x = frame.size.width - MARGIN * 2 - totalWidth;
self.sliderOne.frame = newFrame;

It sucks, I know. If you find yourself doing this a lot, you may want to add categories to UIView/NSView to alter this stuff for you:

@interface UIView (FrameMucking)

- (void) setWidth:(CGFloat)newWidth;

@end

@implementation UIView (FrameMucking)
 - (void) setWidth:(CGFloat)newWidth {
  CGRect f = [self frame];
  f.size.width = newWidth;
  [self setFrame:f];
}
@end

Etc.
