hi everybody,

ok, i got an nssplitview in a window that is resizeable. by making my app the delegate of the nssplitview, i can control a subview not becoming smaller than a certain value by implementing splitView:constrainMinCoordinate :ofSubviewAt: -- works fine.

when the window is being resized, everything is being resized proportionally. in that case, my delegate is not being called since it only gets called when the divider is being moved.
if i wanted to, i could register for NSSplitViewWillResizeSubviewsNotification, so i'd know when it will resize the subviews -- but i don't see a way of setting the position of the divider to prevent a subview of becoming smaller than a certain size when the window's size is being changed.

i tried registering to that notification and then manually setting the bounds of the concerned view but that resulted in the weirdest cocoa drawing flaw i've ever seen. all the buttons and stuff were stretched and looked like a distorted screenshot.

is that understandable? any hints?

ok, so here i am replying to myself. found out that reading the class description helps.

i can actually, well, influence the divider's position by simply setting the frame of the two views within the splitview. simple.

so now, everything works as i thought it would. kind of.
if i slowly resize the window, it indeed won't resize the one view to something smaller than a certain size because i check that view's frame and if necessary set it to something bigger.

but... if i resize the window very quickly, it seems that the NSSplitViewWillResizeSubviewsNotification is being sent too late, for a fraction of a second, the view does get too small and some of the things i got in my view change their position like in an application which was badly designed in ib; buttons are atop each other.

so, i also react to the main window's windowWillResize:toSize: and check the size of the view there -- doesn't look better, either.

does anybody know why that notification is being sent so late and why my delegate isn't being called in time?
