Drag and drop : setData forType issue

[Nicolas Clavier]

Hi all,

In my approach to drag and drop, I find myself struggling with this method of the drag source:

[aPasteboard setData:---- forType:aType];

Here is my code:

http://gist.github.com/241760

The small red square is draggable and carries it's background color to the green square.

It works when passing a HEX string with setString: ForType: (the code is commented in the gist)

But when passing a color object, I get this error:

Objective-J.js:1741 [CPColor string] unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x002653

As well, in this case, the dragged view becomes the entire window object instead of little red square.

I run this example in a CIB app created with Atlas Beta 0.9.7.

Any idea why CPData is triggering the (SEL)string: on CPColor when it's supposed to only push the object to a dictionary using aType as a key ??

Thanks for your time,

Cheers,

Nicolas

Any one has a hint as to this problem, or some similar experience.. 

I can't find what did I do wrong.

You can't pass a CPColor. You need to pass a CPData object. Pass your color through CPKeyedArchiver.

... which I'd have found out myself if I accurately read the documentation for CPPasteboard :p

Works like a charm, thanks for your lights.
