It turns out that things work almost as expected - but not during the drag.
This flag seems to have no effect.
I add the tracking area and then I have this:
[self dragImage:dragImage at:dragImageCenter offset:NSMakeSize(0.0, 0.0)
event:theEvent pasteboard:pboard source:self slideBack:YES];
NSLog(@"trkArea 2: %@", trkArea);
Oddly, the log only occurs after the dragging session is over. Does this mean
that the dragging session is taking over completely? I tried to add the
tracking area in the background and / or to perform the dragImage: method after
a delay - seems to make no difference in behavior...
Any clues as to what's going on?
Thanks,
Rainer
