Sorry I can't offer technical help; I can only offer an opinion here;
please take it in the spirit it's given:
I don't think dragging an application table row to the Dock Trash is
the right action for deleting them. While it's good to have a
mouse-only action for the equivalent of 'delete', IMHO this is not the
way to do this.
The Trash in the dock is generally used for Finder-related items:
files, folders, mounted volumes, clippings (which act like files) etc
etc -- and note that whenever you drag something into the Dock trash,
you can double-click the trash and see it there (the one exception is
mounted volumes, and I think that action remains in OS X for
compatibility reasons). Your rows aren't Finder-related items, and they
wouldn't appear in the Trash after you dragged them there.
I don't know of any other application that contains non-file objects
that can be dragged into the Dock Trash, and I think it's for the above
reasons (and not due to implementation difficulty).
If you wanted to have drag-removal, you could create some sort of trash
icon inside your application and drag the rows there. This is much
simpler since you control both the drag source and the drag
destination.
HTH,
Rudi
