TextServiceEvent

The TextServiceEvent function routes an event to a specified text service component.

FUNCTION TextServiceEvent (ts: ComponentInstance; 
                           numOfEvents: Integer; 
                           VAR event: EventRecord): 
                           ComponentResult;

ts

A component instance created by a prior call to the Component Manager OpenComponent function.

numOfEvents

The number of events being passed.

event

The Event Manager event record (defined by the EventRecord data type) for the event being passed.

DESCRIPTION

If the text service component handles the event, it should return a nonzero value for componentResult and it should change the event to a null event. If it does not handle the event, it should return 0.
