hi Jo,

i am also working with NSScroller directly

i have two types of windows

in one type, the vertical bar appears and the horizontal bar is missing

in the other type, the opposite situation occurs

i am sure they are set to the right bounds, etc. and visible

have you looked at NSControl

calcSize and sizeToFit?


thx

bill appleton
