Thanks, but it sounds like you're providing advice on sizing the view, while what I'm really interested in is advice about animating (scrolling right-to left) text in the menubar, presumably in a view.

Does anyone have any pointers?

thanks

i think you can break the text with "\n" and then you can read the height from text to resize your view or textfield....

i don't know...

best regards

I need to create an NSStatusItem which displays a bit of horizontally scrolling text, much like the messages the airport menu extra displays about connection status and so on.

My hunch is that the best approach is to create a View-based NSStatusItem with a static width, and do some sort of animation with the text. I've never done anything like this, though, so any advice, pointers, samples would be really helpful.

thanks
