Thanks  for your help.

From this then, I would use the origin point ... of the bounds or frame of the button rect, which would give me the equivalent in screen coordinates and then just adjust the width/height as necessary for my window ?

Again, my thanks

What would be the easiest way to convert the frame rect of a button in a window to a screen rect ?

Search the documentation for symbols beginning with "convert"; among the results:

convertBaseToScreen:

Converts a given point from the window’s base coordinate system to the screen coordinate system.

- (NSPoint)convertBaseToScreen:(NSPoint)point

Parameters

point
The point expressed in the window’s base coordinate system.

Return Value

point expressed in screen coordinates.

Availability

 • Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.

It converts NSPoints, but you can do the math. You may want to start with the bounds rect of the button, and use -[NSView convertPoint:toView:] with the second argument nil; it will keep working if you ever move the button to an enclosing view.
