Re: Drag and drop... without moving mouse?

I've tried generating artificial mouse dragged/mouse moved events a 
number of different ways, both at the CG and at the Cocoa level, and 
I can verify that the events are being generated correctly (and the 
mouse even moves visibly), yet my view doesn't get mouseDragged: 
until I actually move the mouse... It's very strange.

Any other ideas? Hopefully that isn't my "last resort"...
