Hi.

This seems a real newbie question, but the solutions I found seem too 
complicated for my task.

I have a non-NSPopover pop-over info window (can't use NSPopOver for many 
reasons). 

This "popover like" is just a window that draws itself  "anchored" to some 
point in the parent window's coordinate system. Being a child-window of its 
parent, it also moves with it, as expected. 

When parent window is resized, the popover loses its anchor point, because 
child-windows don't normally move when their parent resizes (no matter which 
side of the parent window is changing). 

That behavior is a bit weird, because when movement is synchronized, one may 
guess that some point in the child window always moves with some other point in 
the parent window, or at least with some origin point (top-left, bottom-right, 
etc.) of the parent. None of this  happens.

I could fix this by moving my child-window in the "windowWillResize" or 
windowDidResize" delegate of the parent, but it is not easy to know exactly 
what happened (how did the anchor point on the parent, moved in 
screen-coordinates) and so move the child-window. 

Any simpler ideas for such implementation?

Thanks.
