Why do you switch between "[alertMessage frame].size.width" (good!) and
a hard-coded "423" (bad)?

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;

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.
