Re: Detect ALT key pressed during dragging

Hi,
thank you. I tried that and if I drag a file from the Finder, it works
properly. But if I drag a NSFilenamesPboardType from my other application
"ListFilesApp", the draggingSourceOperationMask method always returns
NSDragOperationCopy, even if the ALT is not pressed.


In "ListFilesApp" I defined the drag like this:

- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)tv writeRows:(NSArray*)rows
toPasteboard:(NSPasteboard*)pboard
{
// ...get the list of the file paths.

NSArray *types = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSFilenamesPboardType, nil];
[pboard declareTypes:types owner:self];
[pboard setPropertyList:filePathList forType:NSFilenamesPboardType];
}

So, now I suppose that I missed something in my "ListFilesApp" application.
What?


Best Regards

Lorenzo
