Using an event name with return type and arguments

PBXEXPORT LPCTSTR PBXCALL PBX_GetDescription()
{
   static const TCHAR desc[] = {
      "class visualext from userobject\n"
      "event int onclick()\n"
      "event int ondoubleclick()\n"
      "subroutine setcolor(int r, int g, int b)\n"
      "subroutine settext(string txt)\n"
      "end class\n"

}

Capturing messages and mouse clicks

Triggering click events

void CVisualExt::TriggerEvent(LPCTSTR eventName)
{
   pbclass clz = d_session->GetClass(d_pbobj);
   pbmethodID mid = d_session->GetMethodID(clz,
      eventName, PBRT_EVENT, "I");

   PBCallInfo ci;
   d_session->InitCallInfo(clz, mid, &ci);
   d_session->TriggerEvent(d_pbobj, mid, &ci);
   d_session->FreeCallInfo(&ci);
}
