Re: Newbie: window resize aloud with code?

Hi Marcus,

You should set up a delegate for your window that implements the 
NSWindow delegate method windowWillResize:toSize:.  Returning the size 
passed in to this delegate method will result in the window not being 
allowed to resize.  You should also take a look at the NSWindow method 
setShowsResizeIndicator:.  You should be able to easily set up the 
state in your delegate or other controller to properly handle messages 
from your UI button.
