Re: Smooth Resizing (again)

John,

Thanks for your input, much appreciated, but a bit more help would be
needed for me to get it working.
I'm getting closer (I think) but obviously missing something.

So far I've created a Cocoa class and added the 2 files (.h and .m) in
the 'Resources' folder of my application.

File called 'CocoaUtilities.h' as the following:

#import <CocoaUtilities.h>

@interface CocoaUtilities : NSObject {

}

+ (void)resizeWindow :(NSWindow *)window toHeight :(int)height
toWidth:(int)width;

@end

Then I've got 'CocoaUtilities.m' which has the following:

#import "CocoaUtilities.h"

@implementation CocoaUtilities

+ (void)resizeWindow :(NSWindow *)window toHeight :(int)height toWidth
:(int)width

{
NSRect windowFrame,newWindowFrame;
windowFrame = [NSWindow contentRectForFrameRect:[window frame]
styleMask:[window styleMask]];
newWindowFrame = [NSWindow
frameRectForContentRect:NSMakeRect(NSMinX(windowFrame),NSMaxY(windowFram
e) - height,width,height) styleMask:[window styleMask]];

[window setFrame:newWindowFrame display:YES animate:YES];
}

@end

When I build the project I get the following errors:

> Compiling CocoaUtilities.m (4 errors)
 undefined type, found 'NSWindow'
 undefined type, found 'NSWindow'
 undefined type, found 'NSRect'
> In file included from CocoaUtilities.m:2:
 cannot find interface declaration for 'NSObject', superclass of
'CocoaUtilities'

In IB, all I've got is a NSWindow called 'Window' with the AS name of
"w_main" and a NSButton with the AS name of "b_resize". I think I'm
supposed to create some type of custom class somewhere, but it might as
well be in Chinese, I can't work this out.
