Doesn't work either. I've set up a sample app which has a "container"
view  (NSBox) and a "child" view (NSView). Actually, I overrode NSView
to paint the view in blue so I could see whether it resizes. Here is
the complete code of the project:

In AppController:

- (void)awakeFromNib {
   [ view setAutoresizingMask:(NSViewHeightSizable | NSViewWidthSizable)];
   [ container addSubview:view];
}

In the NSView subclass:

- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect {
   [[NSColor blueColor] set];
   NSRectFill([self frame]);
   [super drawRect:rect];
}

In IB, *every*thing is set to be resizable (NSViewHeightSizable |
NSViewWithSizable). But when I run the application, the subview (in
blue) does not resize. It just sticks to the bottom left corner of the
NSBox.

Is this a bug or am I missing a simple point?

Kind regards,
Michael
