site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com Some facts of interest to the problem: - (unsigned int)draggingSourceOperationMaskForLocal:(BOOL)isLocal { if (isLocal) return (NSDragOperationMove | NSDragOperationCopy); return (NSDragOperationCopy | NSDragOperationDelete); } Any insight/help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I have a document application that makes use of Cocoa bindings and has an inspector window with some text fields that need to support drag-n-drop between one another as well as from outside sources. To accomplish this goal, I have created a custom text field (subclass of NSTextField) and a custom field editor (subclass of NSTextView) to support drag-n-drop. Also, the window controller for the inspector window returns the custom field editor for these fields. Everything works nicely except for one major problem: all drag operations are copies--even within the same text field. However, the drag operations returned by the destination methods is always NSDragOperationMove when the source was not from another window. I am hoping to get an explanation or guess as to what my problem is with this system--and how to fix it. My search of the archives did not result in any answers. a) If I don't force the destination field to become the responder, I get the proper drag operations. Unfortunantly, I need the destination field to become the responder to comply with interface guidelines for drag destination feedback. The code in my custom text field to force the drag destination to become the responder is: - (NSDragOperation)draggingEntered:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender { if ([[sender draggingSource] delegate] != self) { [[self window] makeFirstResponder:self]; [[self currentEditor] setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange (NSNotFound, 0)]; [self setNeedsDisplay:YES]; } NSPasteboard* pb = [sender draggingPasteboard]; NSDragOperation sourceDragMask = [sender draggingSourceOperationMask]; if ([[pb types] containsObject:NSStringPboardType]) { if (sourceDragMask & NSDragOperationMove) return NSDragOperationMove; else if (sourceDragMask & NSDragOperationCopy) return NSDragOperationCopy; else if (sourceDragMask & NSDragOperationDelete) return NSDragOperationDelete; } return [super draggingEntered:sender]; } b) If I set a break point to log the call stack in - draggingSourceOperationMaskForLocal:, I see that it is called twice-- first with isLocal as YES and second with isLocal as NO. Why is this? (This is true even of drags within the same field.)
