If your outline view is set up such that children are descendant items
of their parents, you don't even need to round-trip to the model
layer. You could implement something like the following:
// Warning: typed in Mail, not guaranteed to work
- (NSDragOperation)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView
validateDrop:(id < NSDraggingInfo >)info proposedItem:(id)item
proposedChildIndex:(NSInteger)index
{
NSArray *draggingItems = ItemsFromDragInfo(info);
NSMutableSet *parentTree = [[NSMutableSet alloc] init];
id parentItem = item;
while (parentItem) {
[parentTree addObject:item];
parentItem = [outlineView parentForItem:item];
}
NSDragOperation op = NSDragOperationMove;
for (id item in draggingItems) {
if ([parentTree containsobject:item]) {
op = NSDragOperationNone;
break;
}
}
[parentTree release];
return op;
}
