Hi all,

I want to send some info around between widgets and use widget_control,
send_event = ... to do that. Since I want to use the name to identify
the type of event, the event structure should be named. Now, the actual
information I want to send is an anonymous structure (if absolutely
necessary, I could make that named as well, but I would prefer anonymous).

It turns out that IDL doesn't like (or rather, doesn't allow) anonymous
structures to be members of a named structure. At the moment I am using
a pointer to the anonymous structure as a member of the named event
structure. However, I don't like that solution too much since the event
handler to which I send the event has to free the pointer. As long as I
do all the programming, I will remember that, but if several people are
working on the project, I'll have to say "Hey, don't forget to free that
pointer I am sending to you!" all the time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Benjamin
