A certain Charles, who wishes to make a generalized view that will allow the user to resize it as he or she wishes, but needs to make sure the size is legal in order to avoid throwing exceptions, flooding the console with warnings, and otherwise being bad. And since this is a generalized view, the certain Charles needs to cover the corner cases, one being when the view has a maximum size. > 3.

Yes, in order to perform 2, a certain Charles wants to be able to query for both the minimum and maximum size (he’s already got the minimum), so he can be sure the size that the user wants to set is within those boundaries. This way, if a bad size comes from the user, the certain Charles can adjust it. But in these situations, Charles wants to make the size as close to what the user asked for as is possible. Think what happens when a certain Jonathan resizes a view with constraints by dragging its edges around in IB. That’s what Charles wants to do. Ugh, too much use of the third person makes Charles nauseous. Not going to do that again. :-D Charles _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
