I've started to have a good look at those links and am trying to extract the stuff I need, I suppose I could try and use it complete, but they seem over complicated!!

This should do the trick:

NSRect bounds = NSMakeRect( 0, 0, [textField frame].size.width, 99999 );
[textField setStringValue:message];
float requiredHeight = [[textField cell] cellSizeForBounds:bounds].height;


(untested, typed in Mail)

That was exactly what I needed - thanks!

I was stuggling to extract the code from the links, I think the fact the height is a float got in the way?!?! Seems odd to me, but works!

Just for completeness, my final code, which resizes the window, and catches short strings to keep the window above a minimum height:
NSRect bounds = NSMakeRect( 0, 0, [alertMessage frame].size.width, 99999 );
[textField setStringValue:message];
float requiredHeight = [[alertMessage cell] cellSizeForBounds:bounds].height;
if (requiredHeight < 52) requiredHeight = 52;
[theDialogWindow setContentSize:NSMakeSize(423, requiredHeight+106)];


Many thanks

Ben.
