Hi, Ravindra
As you see, cltSelect event itself will be lost.
I am not familiar with your code, but I guess adding
MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &error);
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
(where error is UInt16) after SysHandleEvent(...) will do the job.
In my case I wanted the system to look frozen (like with SysTaskDelay)
while traping events under the hood, but you might not wish that.
BTW if you just want to wait for a particular event, you can pass
evtWaitForever
to EvtGetEvent and remove all timer stuff - this is more readable,
more efficient, and less time consuming.
Regards
Michael

Hello Michael ,
Thanx once again.
I used this method instead of SysTaskDelay() ,and pass wakeup event as
ctlSelectEvent since I have to press stop or next buttons ,but still result
is same as previous no event is get fired .
Is I am missing any thing ?
Anything extra has to be done??/
Regards,
Ravindra
