How to determine if NSDrawer will open the screen
I am working on an application that has an NSDrawer in its main window. It is imperative that the drawer always opens on the right edge and this is how I coded it to work. I would like to know if there is a way to determine if a drawer will open "off screen" ... Is there a way that I can detect this? If so, how? And additionally, how can I move the main window to adjust the width of the drawer that opens?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Here is a solution thanks to Rob's suggestion.
-(IBAction)toggleDrawer:(id)sender
{
NSRect screenFrame = [[[NSScreen screens] objectAtIndex:0] visibleFrame];
NSRect windowFrame = [window frame];
NSRect drawerFrame = [[[drawer contentView] window] frame];
if ([drawer state] == NSDrawerOpenState)
{
[drawer close];
}
else
{
if (windowFrame.size.width +
windowFrame.origin.x +
drawerFrame.size.width > screenFrame.size.width)
{
NSLog(@"Will Open Off Screen");
float offset = (windowFrame.size.width +
windowFrame.origin.x +
drawerFrame.size.width) - screenFrame.size.width;
NSRect newRect = NSMakeRect(windowFrame.origin.x - offset,
windowFrame.origin.y,
windowFrame.size.width,
windowFrame.size.height);
[window setFrame:newRect display:YES animate:YES];
}
[drawer openOnEdge:NSMaxXEdge];
}
}
