| EV_startSide | Function (ROM Call 0xD5)

events.h

void EV_startSide (short *saveTaskID, HANDLE TaskID, unsigned short Side);

Starts the given side.

EV_startSide first sends CM_STARTTASK message to the application with ID number TaskID. Field StartType of the event structure will be set to AP_START_CURRENT, and field r (in extra field) of the event structure will be filled from the result of executing EV_getSplitRect function (with Side given to it as the parameter). See EV_startTask. This is all if the current side is not equal to Side, else messages CM_ACTIVATE and CM_FOCUS will also be sent to the task TaskID and side Side (using EV_sendEventSide). EV_startSide also fills the variable pointed to by saveTaskID with TaskID (I don't know what the purpose of this is).

Uses: EV_getSplitRect, EV_sendEventSide, EV_appSide, EV_currentApp
