Updating the width of NSTextField based on length of string

Question

I want to make a label that change its size depending on the size of the string value that it will show. Currently I am doing this:

[tfScroll setStringValue:strScoller];
[tfScroll sizeToFit];

However this is not working. What am I missing?

Answer 1

If your tfScroll is NSTextField:

CGRect frame = tfScroll.frame;
frame.size.width = tfScroll.attributedStringValue.size.width+somepoints;//(somepoints=8)
tfScroll.frame = frame;

I did not find NSTextfield.contentSize.

Answer 2

If you trying to resize the fields's height, this may works:

CGRect frame = tfScroll.frame;
frame.size.height = tfScroll.contentSize.height;
tfScroll.frame = frame;
