Hi, I’ve tried loads of different way of doing it but none of them work. Maybe its because I’m not using Auto-Layout, maybe its just impossible using an NSScrollView/NSTextView. In fact, since there isn’t a handy-dandy method or property on any of the classes in question to just do it, I’m beginning to think that’s the case.
Apple’s documentation is so bad that I can’t find anything related to it and I must have wasted around 2 hours fiddling with this. Still I have lots of lovely animations in XCode to make up for it so all is not lost! I’m giving up and it’s too much of a time-sync to muck around with it as I have more pressing things that need doing. Thanks a lot for for taking the time to help.
