Hello,

I've just some problem to understand that event_info parameter in Evas
callbacks. e.g.:

http://docs.enlightenment.org/auto/elementary/fileselector_example_c.html

...
/* 'selected' cb */
static void
_fs_selected(void        *data,
             Evas_Object *obj,
             void        *event_info)
{
   const char *selected = event_info;
   /* event_info contains the full path of the selected file */

   printf("There's been a selection: %s\n", selected);
}
...
 /* the 'done' cb is called when the user presses ok/cancel */
   evas_object_smart_callback_add(fs, "done", _fs_done, win);
...

In this example the event_info* is casted in sime magic way to a char*.
My problem is that event_info* could always be anything and I don't
know it without looking into the sources (here e.g. elm_fileselector).
It's not written anywhere in the documentation that event_info* is a
char*. (Or I didn't find it...)

So is there any way to find out as API user the type of event_info*
which I should cast?

In my special case (Eflxx C++ wrapper) have the problem to design a
type safe interface. I've really no idea to do it. But even using the C
interface I don't like it. Or did I miss understood the API?

I would really prefer that event_info* would be some structure with a
data pointer and some magic identifiers. Then it would be possible to
find out the type of an event.

What do you think? Am I alone with this problem? Any ideas for a better
event_info interface?

regards
        Andreas
