No READ event triggered by QBF???? events (OpenInsight Specific)

I recently discovered that READ events are not triggered when QBFFIRST, QBFNEXT, etc. events are executed. Posting my own READ event at these times works, but it's slow, and it overrides the "" header in the window title bar, which is confusing to users.
Quite a few things happen during the READ event that are important to our application.
Any clues?
TIA,
Alex

Alex,
It is already known to many that QBF does not trigger the READ event. I'm not sure if RTI plans on doing anything about it. Someone else suggested the idea of having a separate QBFREAD event instead.
As far as the title bar getting cleared, have you tried resetting the QBFPOS property to the current position? That might reset the text in the title bar for you.

Alex,
I ran into the same problems with QBF a while ago. What I needed was one central place (preferably the READ event) that I could attach code to and that would be triggered by all other QBF events.
There's a whole discussion thread on this in the Works section (dating back to late December I think). I also suggested at the time that maybe a QBFREAD event can be created at least.
Here's something you might think about as a workaround for now:
You could promote all the QBF events using EVENTDESIGNER, create a new event that all the other ones are triggering (at the application level) and attach your calls to that (avoiding firing READ but doing all the processing attached to the READ event if the code is in a procedure).
Just an idea for now. I hope Revsoft has something in the works for this for 3.6 though. That would be the best.
