EFL documentation usually tells what event_info is deppending on the object and the event you're registering a callback to. For the file selector you can check the widget doc[1] in the "detailed description" section. > 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.

Smart object events are extremelly arbitrary... you can have totally different smart object with different objectives handling with different type of data and event nature.
