Hi,

I'm attempting to learn to program Macs using Mac Oberon Lite.  I';m
having a problem getting it to deal with Update Events using the following
code:-

MODULE ORDER;

IMPORT
    SYSTEM, TB:= MacToolbox, MT:=MacMoreToolbox, ME:=MacMemory,
TE:=MacText, IM:=MacImaging, MF:=MacFiles, MP:=MacProcesses,
MO:=MacOSUtils;

[SNIP]

REPEAT
   gotEvent:=TB.WaitNextEvent(TB.everyEvent, event, 0, NIL);
   CASE  event.what OF
   |TB.updateEvt:
      thiswindow:=SYSTEM.VAL(TB.WindowPtr, event.message);
      TB.BeginUpdate(thiswindow);

(*PUT IT IN LATER*)

      TB.EndUpdate(thiswindow)

   | TB.mouseDown:   (*The Mouse Was Clicked *)


etc.....

The mousedown event is handled perfectly, but the updateEvt isn't
recognised at all.  Putting a sysbeep in the updateEvt code indicates that
it simply isn't executed.

So, am I going wrong or is there a problem in the compiler?  I've had
problems before with importing constants.

TIA

Dave Spacey
