I receive core messages with messagedata::coremessage. There I get the message id and a basecontainer.
Is it possible to sent my own core messages with basecontainer? EventAdd and SpecialEventAdd let me sent core message, but without a container ( whats done with the ulongs p1 and p2 of SpecialEventAdd? ). With SentCoreMessage I cannot sent my own message id...

The structure of the core message container seems to reflect these constants in gui.h:

    
    
      BFM_SYNC_MESSAGE      = 'sync',  
      BFM_CORE_MESSAGE      = 'MciM',  
        BFM_CORE_ID           = 'MciI', // CinemaMessageID  
        BFM_CORE_UNIQUEID     = 'Muid', // TimeStamp  
        BFM_CORE_PAR1         = 'Mci1', // Parameter1  
        BFM_CORE_PAR2         = 'Mci2', // Parameter1  
        BFM_CORE_SPECIALCOREID = 'scid', // special managerid!!! for syncmessage

So if you do SpecialEventAdd(12345678, 42, 47) you will get:

    
    
    id == 12345678;  
    msg.GetLong(BFM_CORE_PAR1) == 42;  
    msg.GetLong(BFM_CORE_PAR2) == 47;

Adventurous programmers can use the parameters to pass pointers cast to longs, though I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing. (LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_ELEMENT sets a precedent for this trick in the SDK, so you wouldn't be on totally uncharted territory.)
