I'm using NSImageView for drag images on my app, is it possible to use also for drag files?

It's only intended as an image container. If you want the same border around an area for, e.g. a file, you need to create your own custom view that looks this way.


Don't bother trying to use Carbon's HIThemeDrawGenericWell() to draw the inset area, though. Right now this will give you a border, but won't fill its inside with the right color. And as there seems to be no pre-defined NSColor for an image well's fill, it's impossible to draw the content color yourself in a future-safe way.

What seems to work, however, is to create your own NSControl subclass and set its view to one that does whatever you want (e.g. my UKFinderIconCell class that is part of UKDistributedView - NSButtonCell seems to insist on erasing its background, so won't work). Use the following drawRect method:

-(void) drawRect: (NSRect)dirtyArea
{
NSImageCell* borderCell = [[[NSImageCell alloc] initImageCell: [[[NSImage alloc] initWithSize: NSMakeSize(2,2)] autorelease]] autorelease];
[borderCell setImageFrameStyle: NSImageFrameGrayBezel];
[borderCell drawWithFrame: [self bounds] inView: self];


    [self drawCellInside: [self cell]];
}

This will abuse an NSImageCell with an empty image to draw the inset well, and then call NSControl to draw the actual cell.
