expansionFrame(withFrame:)
The frame in which a tool tip can be displayed, if needed.
Declaration
func expansionFrame(withFrame contentFrame: NSRect) -> NSRectParameters
- contentFrame:
The frame of the control.
Return Value
The frame in which the tool tip should be displayed, or NSZeroRect by default.
Discussion
This method lets the control return an expansion tool tip frame if contentFrame is too small for the entire contents in the view. When the pointer hovers over the text in certain controls, the full contents will be shown in a special floating tool tip view. If the frame is big enough to display the contents, return an empty rect from this method and no expansion tool tip view will be shown. Note that some subclasses, such as NSTextField, return the proper frame when required.
