I'm having problems trying to move and resize NSViews.

I have a NSBox (which is a subclass of NSView), and within that I have two NSTextView objects (which again are subclasses of NSView.

I can move and resize the box view no trouble but using exactly the same code, I cannot get the text views to resize.

I'm using code similar to:

Code:

NSTextView textView;
NSRect frameRect;

frameRect.origin.x = <value>;
frameRect.origin.y = <value>;
frameRect.size.width = <value>;
frameRect.size.height = <value>;

[textView setFrame:frameRect];
[textView display];

(I've also tried "setNeedsDisplay:YES" instead of "display").

Does this all look correct?

I think your problem is probably the fact that a text view, when dragged into a window in Interface Builder, is actually a scroll view with a text view as its document view. So, to move it around, you'll want to change the scroll view's frame, since changing the text view's frame will simply change its size within the scroll view. You can get the scroll view that contains the text view by using the enclosingScrollView method (declared on NSView)>

Amongst other problems, that did turn out to be the solution. changing the frame of the enclosingScrollView (along with some other tweaks) fixed it for me.
