Thanks for the help. I figured this much out already (I did a poor job of
asking the right question).
How do I send data with a custom event. I don't see anyplace in the
EventType structure to pass custom data with the event. I could always use
one of the unioned structures in place, but, from a code point of view it is
not going to make much sense to the next guy who comes through and has to
maintain the code!!!
For example:
switch( event->eType )
case MyCustomEvent:
do something with event->data.frmOpen.formID; // Why
use frmOpen with MyCustomEvent type????
Any suggestions on the cleanest way to do this???
Thanks again,
Brad Figler
