NSTextField get default margin dimensions

I`ve got several programmatically created NSTextField-s, used as static text controls. The algorithm that creates them sets their dimensions via setFrame: and assumes that they have zero padding between the text and the upper right corner of the control, which is not the case, so the text is getting clipped.



At first I began researching the topic of zero padding for NSTextField-s but quickly realized that this approach requires subclassing. It would be much easier for me than that if I could just use some method to obtain the padding dimensions and adjust the bounding rectangle accordingly.



My question is: what`s the name of that method?



[UPD:] Seems to be alignmentRectInsets, however it`s not available on macOS 10.6 — so I`d like to know if there is a similar method for 10.6.

  • @ElTomato Yup. Not using daily, but still testing my apps for compatibility. Is that wrong? (Well, it might be, as I`m not much into Apple community, I just know that my ex has an MBP with 10.6 installed, so I also keep it installed on a VM)

    Why do you need subclassing to call cellSize or sizeToFit?

in spring boot 2.1 many test slices are not allowed anymore due to multiple @BootstrapWith

Image
1 I tried to upgrade a yummy sandwich made of two test slices (@JsonTest and @JdbcTest in my case, crunchy test code in between) adding spring boot 2.1 flavour to it. But it seems it was not much of a success. I cannot annotate my tests with many @...Test since they are now each bringing their own XxxTestContextBootstrapper. It used to work when they all used same SpringBootTestContextBootstrapper. @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @JdbcTest @JsonTest public class Test { @Test public void test() { System.out.printn("Hello, World !"); } } The error I get from BootstrapUtils is illegalStateException : Configuration error: found multiple declarations of @BootstrapWith for test class I understand I might be doing something wrong here but is there an easy way I could load both Json and Jdbc contex...
