Hi,

another question, which puzzles me. It is possible to send events to a 
widget? This is because we use no input device (neither keyboard no mouse). 
We have got some function buttons, which are read directly from the user 
application.

Thank you,
Olaf

Yes, it's a bit tricky. But to use the structure of an event dependent GUI, 
you must have events (or it becomes even more tricky). So, I would like, if 
it's possible to send "mousemoves" or "button pressed" Messages to Tiny 
Widgets.

Regards,
Olaf

It may be easier to write a simple Microwindows keyboard driver similar 
to the IPAQ one which
generates special key press events when the buttons on your hardware are 
pressed. Similarly if you
want to use some buttons as mouse direction controls you could write a 
simple Microwindows
mouse driver which reads the buttons and generates the appropriate mouse 
movement events.
