NSViewMBS.beginDraggingSessionWithItems(items() as Variant, e as NSEventMBS, source as NSViewMBS) as Variant
Function:
Initiates a dragging session with a group of dragging items.
Notes:
items: The dragging items (array of variant containing NSDraggingItemMBS objects). The frame property of each NSDraggingItem must be in the view's coordinate system.
event: The mouse-down event object from which to initiate the drag operation. In particular, its mouse location is used for the offset of the icon being dragged.
source: An object that serves as the controller of the dragging operation. It must conform to the NSDraggingSource informal protocol and is typically the receiver itself or its NSWindow object.
Returns the dragging session for the drag (NSDraggingSessionMBS object). Returned as Variant to reduce plugin dependencies.
A basic drag starts by calling beginDraggingSessionWithItems.
The caller can take the returned NSDraggingSession and continue to modify its properties such as slidesBackOnCancelOrFail. When the drag actually starts, the source is sent a draggingSessionWillBeginAtPoint message followed by multiple draggingSessionMovedToPoint messages as the user drags.
Once the drag is ended or cancelled, the source receives a draggingSessionEndedAtPoint:operation and the drag is complete.
Available in OS X v10.7 and later.

NSViewMBS.dragImage(image as NSImageMBS, viewLocation as NSPointMBS, offset as NSSizeMBS, NSEvent as NSEventMBS, pboard as NSPasteboardMBS, source as NSViewMBS, slideFlag as boolean)
Function:
Initiates a dragging operation from the receiver, allowing the user to drag arbitrary data with a specified icon into any application that has window or view objects that accept dragged data.
Notes:
Image: The NSImage object to be dragged.
viewLocation: The location of the image's lower-left corner, in the receiver's coordinate system. It determines the placement of the dragged image under the cursor. When determining the image location you should use the mouse down coordinate, provided in theEvent, rather than the current mouse location.
offset: This parameter is ignored.
NSEvent: The left mouse-down event that triggered the dragging operation (see discussion below).
pboard: The pasteboard that holds the data to be transferred to the destination (see discussion below).
source: An object that serves as the controller of the dragging operation. It must conform to the NSDraggingSource protocol and is typically the receiver itself or its NSWindow object.
slideBack: A Boolean that determines whether the drag image should slide back if it's rejected. The image slides back to imageLoc if slideBack is true and the image isn't accepted by the dragging destination. If false the image doesn't slide back.
This method must be invoked only within an implementation of the mouseDown or mouseDragged methods.
Before invoking this method, you must place the data to be transferred on pboard. To do this, get the drag pasteboard object (NSDragPboard), declare the types of the data, and then put the data on the pasteboard.

NSViewMBS.drawFocusRingMask
Function:
Draws the focus ring mask for the view.
Notes:
This method provides the shape of the focus ring mask by drawing the focus ring mask. An implementation of this method should draw in the view's interior (bounds) coordinate space, that the focus ring style has been set (it will be set it to NSFocusRingOnly to capture the focus ring itself), and that the fill and stroke colors have been set to an arbitrary fully opaque color.
Subclasses that find the default behavior insufficient should only draw the focus ring shape.
The NSView implementation of this method simply fills self.bounds.
Available in Mac OS X v10.7 and later.

NSViewMBS.focusRingMaskBounds as NSRectMBS
Function:
Returns the focus ring mask bounds.
Notes:
Returns a rectangle containing the mask in the view's interior (bounds) coordinate space.
The mask bounds allows the focus ring's overall size and position to be determined before it is drawn.
Subclasses must override this method if they require the display of a focus ring.
The NSView implementation of this method simply returns NSRectMBS.Zero.
Note: The information provided by focusRingMaskBounds will enable Accessibility to identify selected subelements for zoom tracking, so it is important that this method provide a reasonably tight bounding box and that noteFocusRingMaskChanged is invoked as described.
