Re: Autosizing subviews

[Andreas Höschler]

Hello all,

please ignore my message. The NSClipView (contentView of the 
NSScrollView) is correctly resized. NSClipView does not seem to 
automatically resize its documentView though autoresizesSubviews = YES 
(note sure though), but this is probably not expected anyway. So sorry 
for the bandwidth (there was a problem in my code that was somehow not 
effective on MacOSX)!

However, I noted a difference between MacOSX and GNustep. If you call 
setFrame: on a NSView in MacOSX this will call setFrameSize:. On 
GNUstep this is not the case. If sublcasses overwrite setFrameSize: 
with extra functionality, this won't work on GNUstep while it does on 
MacOSX. May be we should change the setFrame: and setFrameSize: 
implementations of NSView, NSScrollView,.. to behave like MacOSX does. 
Any thoughts?
