Newbie: Drag of Custom Type from NSOutlineView

  • Thread-topic: Newbie: Drag of Custom Type from NSOutlineView

- (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView*)olv
         writeItems:(NSArray*)items
       toPasteboard:(NSPasteboard*)pboard
{
    NSArray* myTypeOnly = [NSArray arrayWithObject:MyPboardType];
    [pboard declareTypes:myTypeOnly owner:self];

    NSLog(@"Writing items to %@ pasteboard:\n%@", pboard, items) ;

    BOOL success = [pboard setPropertyList:writeItems
                                   forType:MyPboardType] ;

    NSLog(@"success writing to pasteboard = %i", success) ;
    NSLog(@"pboard payload looks like:\n%@",
          [pboard propertyListForType:MyPboardType]) ;

    return success ;
}

The first NSLog logs an array containing the dragged items, as expected.
The second NSLog logs that success = 1, as expected.
The third NSLog simulates what my drop destination does to unload the
pasteboard.  I expect to get my array of items, but I get (null).  The same
thing happens in the actual drop method.

How can something so simple not work?

Jerry Krinock

By the way, my "drop" code works fine, and I have previously implemented
drag and drop from within this same table, using a "sneaker pasteboard",
which is an NSArray object instance variable, and that works fine.  But now,
so I can drag and drop between diffferent outlines, I want to do it the
"right" way, to actually put the data on the pasteboard.
