I would like to accept various drops on my table view, but would rather that the entire table view become outlined, rather than an indicator bar be drawn, to signal that a drop can occur, as the dropped data would not be inserted at the particular location indicated by the bar. What will I need to do to make this happen?

Take care,
Andrew

Easy. You'll need to implement these three methods in your NSTableView delegate/datasource:

- (BOOL) tableView:(NSTableView *)tableview writeRows:(NSArray *)rows toPasteboard:(NSPasteboard *)pboard;
- (unsigned int) tableView:(NSTableView *)tableview validateDrop:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)info proposedRow:(int)row proposedDropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)operation;
- (BOOL) tableView:(NSTableView *)tableview acceptDrop:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)info row:(int)row dropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)operation;

Then, in your NSTableView subclass (you must subclass), add some code to the methods:

BOOL _shouldDrawFocusRing = NO;

- (NSDragOperation) draggingEntered:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
NSDragOperation operation = [super draggingEntered:sender];
// code here to decide how to handle the drag, and modify operation if needed
_shouldDrawFocusRing = YES; // NO, if drag will not be accepted
[self setKeyboardFocusRingNeedsDisplayInRect:[self bounds]];
return operation;
}

- (void) draggingExited:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
_shouldDrawFocusRing = NO;
[self setKeyboardFocusRingNeedsDisplayInRect:[self bounds]];
[super draggingExited:sender];
}

- (void) concludeDragOperation:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
_shouldDrawFocusRing = NO;
[self setKeyboardFocusRingNeedsDisplayInRect:[self bounds]];
[super concludeDragOperation:sender];
}

- (void) drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
[super drawRect: rect];
if (_shouldDrawFocusRing) {
NSSetFocusRingStyle(NSFocusRingOnly);
NSRectFill([self bounds]);
}
}

Hope that makes it work for you.
