Hmmm.


This used to drive me mad, too. Until I realized that you need to set the sizes of the actual subviews of the split view. Sort of like this (myTableView is one of the two things I put in the split view):


[[[myTableView superview] superview] setFrame: myFrame];

Since the first superview of a table view is a clip view and the next is the scroller, and it is the scroller that is the direct subview of the NSSplitView and is the one you need to set.

For a textedit, it is even worse:

[[[[myTextEdit superview] superview] superview] setFrame: myTextEditFrame];


Of course, remeber to set the frame sizes _exactly_ right, so the hights of the frames and the divider together fill the entire height of the BSSplitView. (But I guess you already knew that, huh?)

Also, be sure to let the window resize itself _before_ calculating the frame sizes and calling -adjustSubviews (like if you open the Window and resize it programatically before showing, you dont want to call -adjustSubviews in the windowDidLoad or awakeFromNib.)

Hope this helps. (Someone please tell me if I'm wrong! I'd actually like to be wrong in this case! :)
