UITableViewCell initWithFrame:CGRectMake Autoresizing Problems..

Question

Hello...
There are problems defining the Frame for my TableViewCell.. the documentation describes to approaches as mentioned (i've quoted them at the bottom), and I am implementing the first one - therfore, just adding views as subviews. It is looking like this - and is working more or less:
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;
UILabel * nickLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0, 12.0, 50.0, 20.0)] autorelease];
nickLabel.text = [tempDict valueForKey:@"id"];
nickLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0];
nickLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
nickLabel.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
nickLabel.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin |
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
[cell.contentView addSubview:nickLabel];
the problem is, that as I am adding more and more subviews, I need more space for doing so. But it seems that my cellView is not "autoresizing" even if i define it with a special Rect like
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRect(0.0, 0.0, 400.0, 100.0) reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
sure, this approach is not documented (the doc says use RectZero..) but i am just trying.. for example this Rect setting of my label looks like as if it would be in the third tableView Row.
UILabel * nickLabel = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 50.0, 20.0)] autorelease];
any ideas?
+■You should add subviews to a cell’s content view when your content layout can be specified+
+entirely with the appropriate autoresizing settings and when you don’t need to modify the default+
+behavior of the cell.+
+■ You should create a custom subclass when your content requires custom layout code or when+
+you need to change the default behavior of the cell, such as in response to editing mode.+

+the only way I have found to edit the height of a cell is doing it in the tableView.+
+-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {+
+return 100.0; //returns floating point which will be used for a cell row height at specified row index+
