But there's no place to assign your own data to the data member of EventType, is
there? I've known about creating your own events, that's not a problem. I want the
event to carry data with it, though. I suppose I could use the "generic" members of
the data struct, but I haven't seen any documentation that says this is OK. The
problem there, though, is that you're limited to the eight members defined by it.
Basically I'm looking for the most flexible way to include data with an event.

Hi, I do it like this, not sure its the best way, buts it neat and it works.
typedef enum { /* User defined events */
userReadPort = firstUserEvent,
userValidMsg,
userRadioBattLow,
userVectorRedraw,
userModeChange
} user_eventsEnum;
EventType user_event;
/* Post our own event to the queue */
user_event.eType = (eventsEnum)userRadioBattLow;
/* Add other paremeters here */
EvtAddEventToQueue (&user_event);
Get the event as any other palm event.
