Thanks, but this is not the case. The validateDrop method returns a NSDragOperation value that I compute. That is not the same value that the [<draggingInfo> draggingSourceOperationMask] returns, though that is certainly one of the many inputs I use when working out the validation.
The two methods do much the same work so there's a good opportunity to factor the code as Jens suggests, but locally saving the return value from validation works OK and appears to be all I can do. --Graham On 11/06/2010, at 6:27 AM, Tony Romano wrote: > It does.
