Yes, I saw that site after it was referenced in an earlier message. The
problem is that everything looks set correctly as far as I can see in
IB. Here's the layout:
NSWindow
NSView (Content View)
NSSplitView
NSTableView
NSTextView
NSProgressIndicator
NSTextField
The NSSplitView has the springs set within the center part and no
springs around it. The NSProgressIndicator and NSTextField are all
struts. The NSView (Content View) has no means of setting sizing and
NSWindow has springs around it. So I'm somewhat at loss as to why the
NSProgressIndicator and NSTextField are being automatically adjusted.
Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out how the auto-sizing of views and controls
within a window work.
I have a mail window that has a NSTextField and NSProgressControl
positioned at the top and below that, an NSSplitView that takes up
the rest of the space. The NSSplitView size info is set so that when
the split view is resized, the views within it are automatically
resized.
The problem is that when the main window is resized, the position of
the NSTextField and NSProgressControl are also automatically adjusted
relative to the main window size. What I want is for the NSTextField
not to move and for the NSProgressControl to move left or right
depending on the main window width, and for the NSSplitView to
automatically size as it does now. Unfortunately I can't figure out
how to set this behavior in Interface Builder and the help doesn't
give any clue.
Any pointers would be most welcome.
Thanks.
