Sure it's OK. That's what they're there for. The generic field is just
another member of the event.data union, which is where event data is
meant to be stored.
Do something like
MemSet(&event, sizeof(event), 0);
event.eType = myEvent;
event.data.generic.datum[0] = myval1;
event.data.generic.datum[1] = myval2;
EvtAddEventToQueue(&event);
If 8 UInt16's isn't enough to hold your all of your event info, then store
a pointer to your real event data:
MyEventDataStruct* myPtr;
MemMove(event.data.generic.datum, &myPtr, sizeof(void*));
Extract it later with
MyEventDataStruct** evtptr;
MemMove(&evtptr, event.data.generic.datum, sizeof(void*));
