But, I kept working through the problem and found that the flicker
only occurs on the portion of the frame that is added if the frame
needs to be made larger. Although the added width may vary for me,
there is a maximum width. So I tried just setting my frame to that
maximum width when its initially created and not call my
resizeFrame method. I see no flicker, but since the maximum width
is an exceptional case, I'm left with a lot of empty space than in
the more typical cases. Not a good idea, since a status item should
use as little space as necessary.
So again, does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
The flicker is a known bug. You can work around it by disabling
screen updates via NSDisableScreenUpdates(), resizing your view,
sending it the display message, and then reenabling screen updates.
