or... you could do this:
(*event).eType
after teaching students C for a number of years now.. they seem
to understand this one better..
int a;
int *ptr;
ptr = &a;
(*ptr) = 10; // puts 10 in a
you use this syntax for basic data types, and you can extend it
onto more complex data types (structs).. the general population
use the "->" instead.. (maybe cause it needs less chars)? :)
