Subclassing NSColorWell?

Hello!

I'm attempting (without much luck unfortunately) to attach an NSString to the drag data coming out of an NSColorWell. As an NSColorWell otherwise does and provides most everything else I require, I thought that I'd avoid reinventing the wheel and subclass NSColorWell for my purposes. I've simply attempted to override both the mouseDown and mouseDragged methods in my subclass of NSColorWell:

//-----//

- (void) mouseDown:(NSEvent *)event {
     BOOL worked;

[super mouseDown: event];
NSPasteboard *pb = [NSPasteboard pasteboardWithName: NSDragPboard];
[pb declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSStringPboardType, nil] owner:self];


     x = [pb setString: @"test String" forType: NSStringPboardType];

     if (!worked) {
          NSLog(@"couldn't setString on pb");
     } else {
          NSLog(@"%@", [pb stringForType: NSStringPboardType]);
     }
}

//-----//

thinking that would suffice. Apparently that thinking is flawed! =) I can see via NSLog that the string in fact arrives and is placed on the dragging pasteboard. When I do a drag from the NSColorWell however, there's no NSString being delivered to the destination.

Are there some other method(s) that needs to be overridden in this instance? Perhaps I'm missing some important point entirely? I could create my own NSView or NSControl and implement the appropriate dragging stuff, but it just seems silly as NSColorWell does 95% of what I need.

Advice is much appreciated!
