Interestingly, setting it in the NIB did not go well: *** Assertion failure in -[NSImageView _didChangeHostsAutolayoutEngineTo:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1265.21/Layout.subproj/NSView_Layout.m:510 An uncaught exception was raised Should translate autoresizing mask into constraints if _didChangeHostsAutolayoutEngineTo:YES. I guess as you say the runtime is very keen for me to leave it on! It’s conceivable that my problem is that I am not doing something important related to autolayout (which is new to me), though I am not sure what it could be. I am giving the view a low content-hugging priority (“the priority with which it RESISTS being made larger/smaller than its intrinsic size”) in case that would make any difference (it doesn’t). I have tried both with the text control and with an NSImageView (just in case that makes any difference). In the imageview case, the intrinsic size of the view is very small, and it is very happy to resize itself to the frame rectangle that I have no choice but to define for it in IB. However it is utterly refusing to undergo any other resizing in order to fill the size of the parent view that it has been inserted into in the NSOpenPanel. If people weren’t saying that they had managed to get accessory views to resize according to the width of the parent view (over which I don’t have control, of course), then I’d assume it wasn’t possible. However since it apparently is possible I’m tearing my hair out over this, trying to work out what I am missing. I don’t suppose anybody knows of any examples that definitely demonstrate this working?
