| I am not using the MAXGUI elements, but i am using the event system. I just was wondering if it was feesible to create my own event handler that is as fast as the MAXGUI one, for some reason im thinking its doing alot of work outside the scope of BMAX. Any thoughts? I like the idea of having my own custom made events, it would be more streamlined and easer for my to use. |

| 1. The event system does not generate most of the events at all. Only the "canvas related" ones from MaxGUI 2. it does not do anything outside BM. It just generates BM events for standard OS window events for the given context. 3. You can generate own events for your own task and handle them in event hooks for example. Thats actually done by different people as this allows you a more streamlined code design especially if you use event handlers and not the C++ stone age approach of "selecting the event". |

| Assaris MaxGUI tutorials (the only reason to use event hooks as most events are not generated without maxgui) have an event hook in. check http://www.2dgamecreators.com |
