A while ago I had asked next about this:

> I am trying to built a pallete object like a button view which will accept an  
icon draged from the File Viewer. On my example I started with the Acceptor App  
and made it to accept the icon when I drop it in the inspectorWindow as opposed  
to the appIcon window (by slightly changing the appDidInit).
> 
> Now I need to make it show up in the iconView only when I drop it there (in  
iconView) and NOT in the inspectorWindow in general.So my problem is to get the  
view to be the "sensitive" area and NOT the window which includes the view  
iconView.
> 
> Can you PLEASE point me to some answers, (or examples) ? I am familiar with  
both the NeXT Answers 497 and 517
> 

NeXT indicated that this could be done much cleaner in 3.0 ! Well, I waited  
till I got 3.0 and now I cann't find any example or place in the on-line Docs  
that this is given some explanation !

Does anybody out there can help ?? I would greatly appreciate any pointers. 

Anxiously waiting for any answers
