I'm using NSCollectionView in a pet project of mine and I'm using it
to create a list of items. I've got the NSView drawing already
complete but I'm having issues trying to resize it once it's in the
Collection View. Pretty much what I'm doing is this...I'm trying to
keep it minimalistic, if the user selects an item it expands showing
some extra optional information that was previously hidden.
I've tried setting the frame with the following code...(which
resides inside of the view I'm resizing)
I even added the [[self superview] setNeedsDisplay: YES] to try and
get the superview to redisplay/recalculate position of objects.
I've tried enlarging the height and shrinking it and it still
displays as the same thing on screen.
It won't really work, because NSCollectionView does not expose its
layout mechanism.
If it implemented - layoutSubviews (or layers) it could be overridden
to support arbitrary layout...
In this case, you can't really reliably AFAIK alter the sizes of items
and "keep" thier size that way.... NSCOllectionView will put it back
to the size it wants.
So, in this case, I think you just have to do your own view, or have
an accessory view that pops out like in iCal...

Any ideas?
Thanks,
