Hello, I have been trying to figure out some way of dragging an image, text, link, anything really, out of a WebView, and into another Cocoa control, such as NSTextField, NSTableView, or NSImageView. Dragging these things out of my WebView and into other applications works fine, for example dragging links or images onto Safari, and text into TextEdit. But dragging into a control that is in the same application does not work.
I've created and tested a test-case project that shows the bare bones. In this project, I simply dragged a WebView and TextField into IB, set the WebView's URL to google.com, ran the app, and tried dragging some text out of the WebView into the NSTextField, and it snaps back with no option of Copy or other actions being available. Ultimately what I'd like to do is drag elements out of the WebView and into an NSOutlineView, and extract the represented data out of the element. Looking through the documentation, I've stumbled upon this page: http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/DragAndDrop.html However, this seems to have nothing to do with dragging elements or items out of the WebView and into other Cocoa controls, but only about dragging them into other items in the WebView. It's possible that what I'm trying to do is not possible, but I'm hoping this is not true. Any help would not only be appreciated, but would be remembered for longer than a day, and possibly thanked at an upcoming WWDC, maybe even more, who knows. ~Steven Degutis _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
