Ah, ha. I understand now and I've got it working. Thanks for your help!

You do need to set exterior springs on the indicator and text field.
To anchor the text field to the upper left corner, set the right and
downward springs. To anchor the indicator to the top right, set the
left and downward springs.
For resizable windows, exterior struts in both directions (ie.
left/right or up/down) is only meaningful if the interior is a spring.
If the interior is not springy, then at least exterior direction must
have a spring.
I hope this helps.

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.
