It does seem to be order dependent. This works (though it does drop
the baseline a pixel)
[[searchField cell] setControlSize:NSSmallControlSize];
[searchField setFont:[NSFont systemFontOfSize:[NSFont
systemFontSizeForControlSize:NSSmallControlSize]]];
NSRect searchFrame = [searchField frame];
NSSize cellSize = [[searchField cell]
cellSizeForBounds:searchFrame];
searchFrame.size.height = cellSize.height;
[searchField setFrame:searchFrame];
If you don't set the font first, cellSizeForBounds: doesn't give you
the size you want.

I've done all of these things, and so far no dice.
The small control clearly has a different overall look—for
instance, the magnifying glass icon has a smaller variant which I
do not see. Also, when I set the smaller frame, it's just using the
big-size control and cutting off its bottom edge, which looks dumb.
I also tried calling -sizeToFit but this had no effect.
Any other ideas?

Hey John -
IB also typically changes the cell's font, and the control's frame
when you use the pop up in the control size inspector.
Hope that helps -

Interface Builder can easily make a small variant of NSSearchField
—it's right there in the size popup—but I can't manage to
reproduce the effect in code. The typical approach doesn't work:
[[searchField cell] setControlSize:NSSmallControlSize];
does nothing at all, though this does shrink almost any other
control type I can think of.
I searched the archives and found that another user had this
problem in mid-2007, but there was no solution posted.
Any ideas?
