How to set the content size of NSScrollView?

Question

I am new to Mac OSX Programming. I have created on iOS apps in which I can set The content size of UISCrollView by using contentSize property. But there is no such property I found for Mac Apps. How it can be done and how can I enable the scrolling in Mac App. I looked on to the other questions on Stackoverflow but I didn't find anything relevant. Thanks-

NSScrollView has documentView attached to it. You can change the content size by updating the frame of documentView.

[scrollView.documentView setFrame: NSMakeRect(0,0,new_width, new_height) ];

CGRectMake is incompatible with NSRect and does not compile. – Henrik Erlandsson Apr 11 '13 at 13:29

It compiles just fine. NSRect is just a typedef of CGRect. – Sohaib Apr 12 '13 at 01:48

Only when compiling for 64-bit. – Henrik Erlandsson Apr 12 '13 at 08:06
You may use NSMakeRect instead – geowar Jun 01 '13 at 03:27

NOTE: it's very important that you update the *frame* of the documentView, and not its bounds. I just wasted a couple of days because I was changing the bounds, which produces a completely different result than the one intended. – Joe Strout Jan 26 '15 at 17:41

Does not seem to work in Swift as documentView is a constant and its variables can therefore not be assigned to. – Ash Feb 04 '16 at 10:49
