I have a WebImageView that I’d like to drag onto a container control, much like in the example that ships with Xojo.

If this imageView is populated with a local picture, it works fine. But if I populate it by setting the WebImageView URL, I get an untrappable runtime NilObjectException from “WebImageView.\_GetDragData” when I do the drop.

Is there a correct way to make this work, or am I just out of luck with WebImageView, in which case I should maybe subclass a canvas and fill it manually from the URL?

Xojo 2017r3, Mac OS 10.12.6

Thanks!

Please file a bug report with a small sample project so we can fix this.
