xCode CGRectMake will only draw a square?

Question

I am trying to draw a simple rectangle shaped label but when I run my code, the app always draws a square? Here is my code.

UILabel *box =[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,100,100,20)];
box.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self.view addSubview:box];

Can anyone help me?

Check your superview autoresize mask. It happens when superview autoresize mask is flexible for width for itself and its subviews.
