No, NSTokenField handles drag'n'drop itself and does not provide any easy way to augment or replace that behavior. > FWIW, casual searching on my part shows only people saying "I wanted > drag and drop so I had to subclass". I already subclass NSTokenField and I believe I've googled and read everything related to NSTokenField. It took far to long before I gave up ;-) And speaking of ways to change the behavior of NSTokenField/NSTextField, I would love being able to customize the view used for the list of suggested completions. It should show where the address was found and when it was last used, but I cannot do that either (without re-implementing everything myself). -- Benny
