JMSetFrameSize

Sets the size of a frame.

OSStatus JMSetFrameSize (
                     JMFrameRef frame, 
                     const Rect* newSize);

frame

The frame whose size you want to set.

newSize

The coordinates of the new frame size in pixels.

function result

A result code; see "JManager Result Codes".

DISCUSSION

The function automatically calculates the width and height of the frame, given the coordinates you pass in the newSize parameter. The top left corner indicates the global position of this frame, so you can use this to update the position of the frame if it gets moved.

IMPORTANT

On the Mac OS platform, the global frame coordinates (0,0) does not map to the actual top left corner of the screen, but rather is offset to accomodate the title and side bars of the corresponding window as well as the menu bar.
