If I understand you correctly, you want to have a large window in
which there is a text field that the user can resize by dragging
corners of the text field? Like in GORM?

This is border with small squares is a special feature of GORM since
it is a UI design editor. But it is *not* available in the standard
toolkit for applications.

The usual method is that the user resizes the window and the text
fields have the appropriate autoresize flags set so that they resize
themselves if you enlarge/reduce the window (not the individual view).
You should also consider to use NSSplitView which allows to resize
parts of the window contents.
