I'm writing a "help bubble" for providing feedback for custom
NSFormatters I've written, since my formatters require fairly
strict input and I want meaningul feedback to the user to explain
what he'she entered wrong ). So when a user enters something the
formatter doesn't approve of, a little bubble appears beneath the
control with the error message from my formatter.
Wow, that looks pretty cool. Will you make the code available? :)
In the shrink-phase, you can see all the text drops about 1 pixel
as the bubble resizes, and then pops back to the correct position
at the end.
Are you subclassing NSAnimation? In my experience, that's really what
you have to do; delegate methods don't work very well for that class.
Which is a shame, because of the lack of inner classes in Objective-C.
Also, how are you setting the positions of the labels? The best way
to do it would be to use the standard "sticks and springs" autosizing
stuff, instead of adjusting the positions yourself.
I'd be happy to take a look at the code if you'd like.
