This is normal. If the image was dragged from outside your app, you can't access the image (remember, the image is just a proxy for some data that is what is really being moved between the apps, so the image itself is of no use to the receiver of the drag, only the data is). The documentation isn't explicit on this point (file bugs) but I took this to be common knowledge, though where it came from I really don't know. The co-ordinate of draggedImageLocation: is the lower left corner of the image, not the mouse point which is what you might be assuming. Again though, it should not be important to the receiving app - what is important is the -draggingLocation:, i.e. the mouse position. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
