Thanks for the info Rob. I will definitely revise MondoTextField in the future so that it does not use a private API call. Paul Kim dropped me a line and let me know of a technique on of how to do this that he posted a while ago.

You don’t need to use private APIs to do the window animation. The way I do this is to cache the content view of the window to an image. I then replace the content view of the window with an NSImageView with the cached image as its content. You can then just do an NSViewAnimation with the window to scale it from the small size to the large size and replace the content view when it hits full size.
