Have a look in Core/UI/Event.h. There's a constant called
'firstUserEvent'. I typically do something like:
#define AppCustomEvent1 ( firstUserEvent )
#define AppCustomEvent2 ( firstUserEvent + 1 )
etc.
(Although I note the actual value for 'firstUserEvent' has changed from
0x7FFF to 0x6000 in Palm OS 3.5 which is good because otherwise your
custom events numbers end up being negative (which I guess is ok because
enums are signed ints)).
Anyway, then you can do things like
EventType customEvent;
customEvent.eType = AppCustomEvent1;
customEvent.data.generic.data1 = someUsefulValue;
EvtAddEventToQueue( &customEvent );
Hope that helps?

Subject: Custom Event
Hi
Im trying to generate a power on event to test
aside from the nilEvent sent when the device is
powered up
How is a custom event(type) defined
if i try to addEventToQueue (WakeUpEvent)
ie:
eventP->eType=WakeUpEvent;
EvtAddEventToQueue (eventP);
it complains that there is no such WakeUpEvent.
How would a custom event be defined? and where?
Thanks!
