- Thanks to all who answered my original post, both the email responders and
- the Net repsonders.
-
- Most of the responses were programming related. That's not a problem, but
- there is an real easy way to limit the small end of the window size: See
- the Size inspector panel in IB, when inspecting the window you want to
- limit. There's a Minimum size feature that you can either set to you own
- coords, or there's a button that sets the coords to the window's current
- size. Very handy.
-
- So, at least half the answer was to be found in IB. As it happens, that's
- the answer I was after.
-
- Again, thanks to all the responders.
-
- And now back to your original programming....
