Thanks very much for your reply. I did wonder if autolayout might make life easier - that’s something I haven’t delved into before.
I gave it a try, setting what I thought should be needed, but it doesn’t seem to be having the desired effect as yet. I have the nib file set to “Use autolayout”, and have included the code you quoted. Doesn’t seem to have any effect. I am loading a nib which contains just an NSTextField, which I have given a red background to make it clear what its extent is. As you can see from this screenshot, the text field is retaining its shape as defined in the nib and is not resizing as I would like it to, to match the size of the parent window. http://imgur.com/aWN4cGU It may be that I am doing something wrong related to autolayout (although this was exactly the problem I was having with non-autolayout as well…). Do you have any thoughts about what I might be missing in order for this to behave as I would like?
