I have an NSPanel and need to implement some window shading functionality - i.e. the content area is hidden and only the title bar remains. Unfortunately, this means that the height of the content area does become zero.
I see. Same principle as the stacked inspector panes in IB itself, or in apps like OmniGraffle and Create.
A workaround (which I've just implemented) that seems to work is when the window shade is activated, I remove THE_VIEW and then shrink the window. When the window shade is activated again, indicating that the contents of the panel should reappear, I grow the window and then add THE_VIEW back to the content view. This probably wouldn't work well if I needed to animate the shrinking & growing, but I don't need to worry about that for now.
Of the three apps I tried (IB, OmniGraffle, and Create), only Create animates the transition. Create's panes don't seem to need autoresizing behavior -- their controls all seem to be in fixed positions -- so it has an easier problem than you. I wonder if the others use the same view-swapping workaround you do.
