I have experience with Java, and GTK+ GUI layout, and I just read that in OSX the layout is absolute (IE the programmer specifies the coordinates of each widget). In my GUI experience (Java and GTK+) I've always used layout managers to "pack" widgets into certain structures like boxes and tables so that the user can resize the app and everything grows according to how I want it to grow. In OSX how does one accomplish (in a text description, not code, I don't know any OSX APIs yet, but soon will hopefully IP: Logged |

No packing that I can tell, but in Interface Builder you can set controls to autosize and/or autoposition vertically and/or horizontally using the Size section of the information panel. Its got spring looking thingies. Thats all I know. I think you can move controls around at runtime, but I'm not sure. IP: Logged |

) this resizing if the widgets are absolutely placed, or how does OSX deal with different font sizes. I think Windows uses absolute positioning, and I've noticed that Outlook cuts off labels when the fonts are too big, rather than growing to fit everything in the window.
