Hi Markus,
Use:
- (void)draggedImage:(NSImage *)draggedImage movedTo:(NSPoint)screenPoint
Then do something like this (after converting the screen point to window
coords):
NSPoint windowPoint = [[view window] mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream];
NSPoint localPoint = [view convertPoint:windowPoint fromView:nil];
if (![view mouse:localPoint inRect:[view visibleRect]]) {
[[NSCursor disappearingItemCursor] set];
}
