The default behavior is to resize windows to fit the area available.
You could register for resize notifications and try to resize it
programmatically. But the real issue is the user not being able to
access the resize area if it is off the screen. If your controls are
not visible and the user can not move the window up, or resize it, what
is the point of having the controls off-screen.
Unless your controls are just barely under the dock, it sounds like you
need to adapt to the smaller display by using a scroll bar or
rearranging the window real-estate.

As I've been developing on a large display, I'd never noticed until

that windows will shrink to fit the screen between the top of the
screen and the dock (assuming the dock is in the regular place). This
presents a problem to my app, which if used on a smallish screen with
a
largish dock, the main window will shrink and lose a couple of
controls.
I really don't want to have my window contents inside a scroller, so
ask if there is a way to disable this automatic fitting?
You can set the minimum window size programmatically or using
checkboxes in
IB's Size Info Panel pane. Alternatively, you can set the checkbox in
the
Attributes pane to make your window non-resizable. Are you saying this
doesn't work?
