Hi,
I’m asking for help in the form of a complete tiny project, or maybe some direction if its far simpler than I thought.
I previously had an app that I built that, when a folder was dropped on the area of the UI, the folder would be registered and the path of the folder displayed in a text box. It was built with 10.3, and used a TableView box to register the item, and it was made hidden and also unselectable (it seems a rather complex system). In 10.3 it works fine, but in 10.4 Apple has ‘fixed’ the behaviour of hidden items to be essentially totally disabled, so my drag and drop box does not work, unless I make it visible, in which the UI is really not what I want.
Can someone fashion me an xcode-2 project that could replicate this behaviour? Essentially all I would like is a window, with a drop area that will register only folder paths (ie “HardDrive:folder:folder:”) and display it. I can probably take it from there. I’m not concerned about the ‘look’ of the window now, but the text displayed can not be editable or selectable. (I’ve tried just a plain text box but I can’t make it be unselectable and still register a drag and drop operation.)
TIA, (I hate to have to ask but drag n drop seems totally illogical and confusing to me.)
