# dragColor(_:with:from:)

Drags a color into a destination view from the specified source view.

## Declaration

```swift
class func dragColor(_ color: NSColor, with event: NSEvent, from sourceView: NSView) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `color`: The color to drag.
- `event`: The drag event.
- `sourceView`: The view from which the color was dragged.

## Return Value

Return Value true

## Discussion

Discussion This method is usually invoked by the mouseDown: method of sourceView. The dragging mechanism handles all subsequent events. Because it is a class method, dragColor(_:with:from:) can be invoked whether or not the instance of NSColorPanel exists.
