- Hello out there in programmation land...
-
- ...does anyone know if it's possible to have your program become a *source*
- for draggable icons (ala NeXT apps), and if so how to pass different types
- of information between apps this way? It would be extremely user-friendly
- and neat-o-keen if this were possible, but as far as I can tell CBM's only
- set things up so that the Workbench is the only source of draggable icons,
- and an app can only be a destination, and the only type of information that
- can be passed is file info. This is kind of restrictive! Is there any OS
- support for custom draggable "stuff"? Thanks!
