I'm also looking for a way to do this. What I've done for now, is I've created an NSView subclass that takes a "snapshot" of a Windows Content View using NSView's dataWithPDFInsideRect:

The class then replaces the NSWindows contentView with itself.
Then In the drawRect: method, I draw that data, stretching it over the entire frame of the view.

What this results in is when i make my class take a snapshot of the window, the contents will be resized when the window is. This doesn't work very well with a bordered window, but it works fine with a window without border, which is what I'm working with.

Hi Shawn,

Well, in an all ideal world, it would be quite useful to be able to
take an instance of NSView or NSWindow and scale it smaller or larger
such that the contents within the view scale accordingly.

The best (real world) example I can think (that exists now) of is when
you minimize a window, it shrinks (scales) down to a thumbnail in the
dock. I'd like to be able to use that type of scaling functionality
within my own app(s), but I'd like to be able to control what size the
window shrinks to.

I figured it might be a part of the Expose API (if such a beast exist)
since Expose appears to use this same functionality to scale windows
when you click F9, F10.

Thanks...
