Just call your ButtonsHandleEvent() function with the incoming event before
you send it to SysHandleEvent(), like so:
EvtGetEvent(&event, evtWaitForever);
if (! ButtonsHandleEvent(&event) ) // grab the buttons before anything
else can
if (! SysHandleEvent(&event))
and in your ButtonsHandleEvent():
switch( eventP->eType ) {
case keyDownEvent:
switch( eventP->data.keyDown.chr ) {
case pageUpChr:
// do stuff
break;
case pageDownChr:
// do stuff
break;
case hard1Chr:
// do stuff
break;
case hard2Chr:
// do stuff
break;
