Heh, I was just about to write you a note complaining about how IB inserts constraints all the time. It really screws things up. I think I've finally figured out how a gray disabled width constraint can be removed. Add sufficient constraints, then size that thing to fit. IB really needs to just flag the thing as unconstrained, and give me a button to "insert necessary constraints," but not do it automatically. It's nearly impossible to see the constraints as displayed graphically, and adding before removing just makes it that much harder. Anyway, I think I finally have it correctly specified. Thanks for all your help, Kyle. -- Rick _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
