You don't swap the event structure pointer (that's what you're almost trying to do). You need to swap the contents of it.
EventType *eventP = (EventType*)((SysNotifyParamType*)cmdPBP)->notifyDetailsP; Then swap the fields in the struct like this: ByteSwap16( eventP->eType ) ByteSwap16( eventP->data.keyDown.chr ) etc...
