How to add constraint to custom table view cell xib file?

Question

To implement expanding custom table view cell, I used custom xib file with UITableViewCell.

But I cannot find constraint panel in that xib file.

In order to fit to variable device size, I have to set trailing constrain. Is it impossible to set constraint in custom xib file?

yes its possible to add constraints, just like you in xib file. — Aamir

@user3802077 Thank you for your response. But I cannot see constraint panel in the xib interface. Do I have to place UITableViewController? Now I placed UITableViewCell — discover

@Aamir Is it possible in case of placing UITableViewCell only(there isn't any controller)? I cannot find constraint control buttons. — discover

Select your .xib file -> Show File Inspector -> Use Auto Layout

Constraints will start appearing at bottom.

Thank you for your help. You saved my time. Really helpful.

You saved my day, didn't expect that can be the solution.

"Use Auto Layout" doesn't exist in Xcode 11.3.1.
