Bill, Hmmm...that is strange. I just recompiled the version of GenericDA I had sent to SUMEX-AIM way-back-when, and it seems to be OK, all of its events get noticed. I did notice that for some silly reason I neglected to set the dCtlEMask though...(I don't recall why). Did you try setting the EMask by hand? Perhaps an interaction with a particular version of the system (I'm running under MultiFinder on a MacII)...? Maybe the LSC glue is using one of the events that Apple took back (a *wild* guess I haven't looked... :-). (I will post a newer version of GenericDA that has a few fixes and some useful utility routines thrown in for good measure in the next few days...)

Here is portion of the code that I use in my SigmaEdit DA (written in LSC) for getting the event. I have no problems as you will see: DoEvent () { BlockMove (*((long *) & myParam->csParam[0]), &evtInfo.event, sizeof (EventRecord)); switch (evtInfo.event.what) { case mouseDown: DoClick (); break; case keyDown: case autoKey: DoKeyDown (); break; case updateEvt: DoUpdate (); break; case activateEvt: DoActivate (); break; } } Hope this helps.... +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + Any thing I say may be taken as + + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + + + Delphi: MACgician + + + + + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
