Let's see, if I got it right:
ctlEnterEvent,
ctlExitEvent,
ctlSelectEvent,
ctlRepeatEvent,
lstEnterEvent,
lstSelectEvent,
lstExitEvent,
popSelectEvent,
fldEnterEvent,
fldHeightChangedEvent,
fldChangedEvent,
tblEnterEvent,
tblSelectEvent,
tblExitEvent,
sclEnterEvent,
sclExitEvent,
sclRepeatEvent
These events deal with form object interaction, and only the event
handler of the active window should get them.
keyDownEvent,
menuEvent,
nilEvent,
winEnterEvent,
winExitEvent,
penDownEvent,
penUpEvent,
penMoveEvent,
frmTitleEnterEvent,
frmTitleSelectEvent
I hope that an inactive form should never get these events. Is this
true? Especially, will the event handler of a visible but inactive
form get pen events? What does the the documentation about
winEnterEvent with the following phrase mean? "This can happen in
two ways: a call to WinSetActiveWindow is issued, or the user taps
within the bounds of a window that is visible but inactive."
daySelectEvent
Does an application get this event at all, or is it locally handled
during the SelectDay call?
appStopEvent
frmLoadEvent
These events should be handled before FrmDispatchEvent is called.
frmUpdateEvent,
frmSaveEvent,
frmCloseEvent
I understand now, that these events can be broadcast to all
registered event handlers (active and inactive), and that a bug
in the OS prevents me from using the event.data.frmUpdate.formID
(resp. event.data.frmClose.formID). Is that correct?
frmGotoEvent
I only get this event, if I send it myself. And only the active
form handler will see it. Correct?
frmOpenEvent
Only the active form will receive this as its first event. Even
before it receives an winEnterEvent?
