Regarding NSoutlineView and WriteItem | Drag-and-Drop Problem


To handle Drag-n-Drop have done following,

-(void)InitMyOutlineView{
 - - - - -  - - - - - - - -  -- - - - - - - -  -
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - 
[pMyOutlineView registerForDraggedTypes:
     [NSArray arrayWithObject:NSStringPboardType]];

/* I tried both Yes and No */   
[pMyOutlineView setDraggingSourceOperationMask:NSDragOperationEvery forLocal:NO];
- - - -  -- - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - - - 
- -- -- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - -  - -- - - - 
}

The WriteItem method as below,

- (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView writeItems:(NSArray *)items toPasteboard:(NSPasteboard *)pboard{
    [self log:@"write Items"];
    NSString *pStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"this is the temp string "];
       [pboard declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:NSStringPboardType] owner:self];
       [pboard setString:pStr forType:NSStringPboardType];
       [self log:@"returning YES"];
       return YES;
}

Now i am expecting control will come to AcceptDrop method, but break point didn't hit there, and in the Log/gdb getting following log

2011-02-04 16:21:25.435 MyApp[2006:a0f] write Items
2011-02-04 16:21:25.437 MyApp[2006:a0f] returning YES
2011-02-04 16:21:25.439 MyApp[2006:a0f] *** -[NSCFArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object at objects[0]

and control didn't come to acceptDrop method,

When i enable "Stop on Exception" following is the call stack when it stopped,

#0  0x981b94e6 in objc_exception_throw
#1  0x96ed34cf in -[__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:]
#2  0x96efaaa3 in +[NSArray arrayWithObject:]
#3  0x92316dfd in -[NSOutlineView _columnsForDragImage]
#4  0x923f1e32 in -[NSTableView _doImageDragUsingRowsWithIndexes:event:pasteboard:source:slideBack:startRow:]
#5  0x91fea16a in -[NSTableView _performDragFromMouseDown:]
#6  0x91fe89b9 in -[NSTableView mouseDown:]
#7  0x91fe864e in -[NSOutlineView mouseDown:]
#8  0x91f86c68 in -[NSWindow sendEvent:]
#9  0x91e9f817 in -[NSApplication sendEvent:]
#10 0x91e332a7 in -[NSApplication run]
#11 0x91e2b2d9 in NSApplicationMain

Let me update one more thing, in my outline view, i have custom cell, which is nothing but Mac ImageTextCell interface file i am using.

Can anyone please guide me, what i am doing wrong

Kind Regards Rohan


Solution

  • [myoutlineView setOutlineColoumn : firstColumn] was missing, when i added then its tarted working
