Auto-resizing NSTextField

Hello:

I'm trying to subclass an NSTextField, so when the data is loaded  
into it, the field resizes (vertically) so all of the data loads  
properly.

I've found this bit of code and have been using it as an example:

http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?CCDGrowingTextField

I implemented my own version of this code, and when I try to tell the  
NSTextField to resize, it gets to the method, but it doesn't react.

What I'm also finding, is that it isn't even setting the string any  
longer!

So, this line used to work when the text field was a standard  
NSTextField.

[myTextField setStringValue: myString];

Now, after I subclassed the text field, it does not even seem to  
respond at all.  Doesn't set the text, doesn't resize.  Any tips on  
what I'm missing or doing wrong?

Regards,

Chad
