[WASTE-list] WESetEventTarget

[Alfred Van Hoek]

WEKey is deprecated and we require to use WESetEventTarget to take 
advantage of Unicode.  The documentation says: "instead of feeding raw 
keyboard events to WEKey, you should install text input event 
handlers".

Does it mean we should provide something like:

#if (WASTE_VERSION >= 0x03000000)
pascal OSStatus
	My_DispatcherHandler
		(EventHandlerCallRef inCaller,
		EventRef inEvent,
		void* inRefcon)
	{
		// and Waste extracts the rawkeyEvent, we don't need to do here 
anything
		// it appears to work for a U.S. encoding, but not for Arabic-QWERTY 
(it types
		// but it is all squares
	}
#endif


for completeness we call the following in our Initializer:

	#if (WASTE_VERSION >= 0x03000000)
	{
		static EventTypeSpec kTextInputEvent[] = {
		
			{ kEventClassTextInput, kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent },
		};
		InstallEventHandler(GetEventDispatcherTarget(), 	
			NewEventHandlerUPP(My_DispatcherHandler),
			GetEventTypeCount(kTextInputEvent),
			kTextInputEvent, NULL, NULL);
		WESetEventTarget(GetEventDispatcherTarget(), weTextInputEvents, 
(WEReference)data->text);
	}
	#endif

And it also appears that under these conditions (in above context, and 
to be expected) that there isn't much control to filter text.

We liked WEKey, and would liked to have seen us to send the 
textEncoding, the UniChar etc. Wouldn't this be better then letting 
Waste dispatching the event? Is Waste dispatching it?

Any clues how we should address the problem?
