FYI. I think that this is more of a Cocoa-Dev question than a
Xcode-Users question.
I don't think that Apple is using text fields for the AB. They are
using some sort of funky hack with a text view. From a usability point
of view I don't think that this is something you should try to emulate,
as this custom text view doesn't behave like any other standard
control.
If you want to find the size of a string, use the size methods
available in either NSAttributedString ("size") or NSString
("sizeWithAttributes:").
