Migration to OS4 Hooks

The OS calls your Hookfunction with the arguments that are described in the Includes & Autodocs. I don't see your problem with that.

@tboeckel
As said before i have a stringgadget (not mine) hook working, now it's just a question that i don'tunderstand fully the documentation as synthesized in my last mail: there is still a gap between the copy of
GTST_EditHook to StringExtend->EditHook >field.
and the production of the SGWork structure needed by the hookfunction
ULONG INTERRUPT SAVEDS TextInHook(struct Hook *hook, struct SGWork *sgw, ULONG *msg)

Thanks for the link

Ok i understand how you reason about this.
Obviously i am not working with system doc yet with enough experience.

However you should get a copy of the "Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual: Libraries 3rd Edition" book, it contains good explanations about Hooks and many other topics.

There is a digital version on this CD:

The OS builds a valid SGWork structure and passes it to your Hookfunction when it is called by the OS.

@ZeroG

I have the Rom kernel Manual (Developer CD V2.1) , but have it only partly on my HD
Do you know by heart in which part it is in?
The problem though is really my inexperience with autodocs and includes.
I am using the the SDK browser and was pretty well organised in finding 'normal' library calls to verify if something had changed (made a search on obsolete and deprecated) These hook calls: it is just 2 that i have to change. So maybe i was a bit lazy. But still GTST_Edithook has no examplehookfunction (search on SGWork) other stringgadgets do. etc.

The right amigaguide is ADCD_2.1:Reference/ROM_Kernel_Manuals/Libraries_Manual.

Hooks in general are covert in chapter 37 "Utility Library".

EditHooks for intuition stringgadgets are covert in chapter 5 "Intuition Gadgets" -> "String Gadget Type" -> "Custom String Editing". It includes an example for edithooks with the filename strhooks.c.
