nspopover

I am trying to resize an NSPopover prior to displaying it by setting the frame of the NSView it contains using the method: setFrameSize: However, when I try to display the popover by calling: showRelativeToRect: ofView: preferredEdge: The view returns to its previous size. Why is this happening? Is there another way I should be sizing the popover? Thanks in advance, Ben. There's a setContentSize on the popover, but I have the impression this doesn't work so well. I mean it works, but resizes the content (including child views). So the better way is to create a new NSViewController and assign

I've got an NSPopover that is shown from interaction with an NSStatusItem. I've blogged about the hacks I needed to do to make input even possible in this situation here: http://blog.brokenrobotllc.com/using-nspopover-with-nsstatusitem I have an NSTextField inside the NSPopover's content view. When I open the NSPopover, the NSTextField appears as if it is key (the cursor blinks). But, when typing, nothing shows up. If I click the mouse in the field, my input starts showing up there.

I am making a MenuBar app for which I am using NSPopOver . The problem is that NSPopover uses NSViewController as a contentViewController , whose size gets fixed. My requirement is to make the size of NSViewController flexible i.e just like NSWindowController (set the minimum size and maximum depends upon the total screen size).

Just need to monitor the override func mouseDown(theEvent: NSEvent) {} override func mouseDragged

For my small Mac menubar application I'd like the behavior of the popover to be transient, so when it loses focus, it will close. This works for that: popover.behavior = NSPopoverBehavior.Transient But it only works once, so the second time you click somewhere else the popover stays. I placed the code in func applicationDidFinishLaunching(notification: NSNotification) , but placing it outside this function inside the class did not work. How can I use force this behavior all the time? I am using Xcode 7.0 with Swift (2.0). You better leave the behaviour to the default value which is
