And this works as long as the window is only made smaller. If the window is made larger then the scrollers do not disappear.

Is my approach the right one for what I am trying to achieve?

Probably not. There are various ways the view frame can change, and they don't all funnel through the setFrameSize method.

If you register to receive NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification's for your view (remembering to call setPostsFrameChangedNotifications: YES), it might work to do something like this in the notification method:

        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self];
        NSRect frame = [self frame];
        // calculate new frame
        [self setFrame: frame];
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self ...



I implemented this with no change no behavior.

The higher level problem I am trying to solve is this:

My custom view spans the window's content view. I want to draw a white rectangle (think of a document) centered in that area and fill the remainder gray. In my drawRect method I first draw gray into the rectangle passed. Then I calculate where the white rectangle should be and draw it.

I need the scrollers to act on the bounds of the white rectangle so that they are present when any part of it is not visible.

Should I be putting my custom view inside another view and doing the centering and background color with IB instead?

What is the best way of implementing this?
