[gme-users] Passing user data in for events.

Daniel,

The current implementation of the MGA library does not pass the associated
value to add-ons (it passes a null value). So, this feature can be used only
with "regular" territory based event handlers at this moment (interpreters,
plug-ins). Do you really use/need the add-on interface on the receiver side
?

If you have the source code of GME you can check out the relevant C++ code
in MgaFCO.cpp (gme/mga folder) in HRESULT FCO::objrwnotify() (line 813):

	COMTHROW(t->handler->ObjectEvent(tt, mmask, nil));

Sorry for the bad news.
