Drag Icon Outside My Application Window



Hi All,

I am brand new to developing for the Mac.  I am however, a seasoned Java developer.  My friend has an open-source tool in Java called FlexDock and he is trying it out on Mac OSX.  Essentially it makes developing dragable and dockable window componets easy for custom Java Swing applications.

He has hit a snag.  When draging a dockable window around the application the window is displayed as a "ghost image" of itself.  However, if the window is drug outside of the application window the drag image is lost.  He has successfully hooked into APIs on other OSs to create a drag icon when the window is drug over the desktop outside of the custom application. 

Would anyone have some advice or sample code for doing this with Carbon for OSX?  Thanks for your advice and help.
