Adding Popover to TableViewCell - objective-c

Question

I've been struggling with this for awhile and was hoping anyone could shed some light on why this isn't working.
I'm simply try to implement a Popover on a TableViewCell. Here is the code..
TodoView.m
- (void)tableView:(TUITableView *)tableView didClickRowAtIndexPath:(TUIFastIndexPath *)indexPath withEvent:(NSEvent *)event {
// MyViewController is a TUIViewController with a nib called MyView with just a button in it
MyViewController *t = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyView" bundle:nil];
TUIView *theView = [[TUIView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 300, 300)];
TUIPopover *myPopover = [[TUIPopover alloc] initWithContentViewController:t];
[myPopover showRelativeToRect:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 300, 300) ofView:theView preferredEdge:NSMaxYEdge];
}
For awhile, nothing would show up. I could tell something was happening though because the window itself would lose focus as if a Popover was there.
Sometimes I see a very small blip– like a small rectangle 2px by 2px. It's hard to see it, looks like dead pixel on the screen, but it appears sometimes when I run this code.
The TUIPopover is from the Twitter UIKit Framework.
Some possibilities...
1) The popover cannot be seen over the CGFillRect?
TodoTableViewCell.m
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
CGRect b = self.bounds;
CGContextRef ctx = TUIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(ctx, 247.0/255, 247.0/255, 247.0/255, 1);
CGContextFillRect(ctx, b);
}
2) The popover doesn't fit inside the TableViewCell and cannot be seen
Anyone have any thoughts?

Really simple answer:
I forgot to set the content size of the popover!
So, for anyone else who is wondering why their popup isn't working, make sure you set the content size!
TUIPopover *p = [[TUIPopover alloc] initWithContentViewController:commentsViewController];
[p setAnimates:TRUE];
[p setContentSize:CGSizeMake(300, 350)];
[p setBehaviour:TUIPopoverViewControllerBehaviourTransient];
[p showRelativeToRect:b.bounds ofView:b preferredEdge:CGRectMinYEdge];
