Event::Event	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	fmt = ""
	)

Constructs an event as a combination of an EventImp and a DimCommand.

Store the name in fName and the format in fFormat. Initializes fTime to an invalid time.

Parameters

name	Name given to the event
fmt	If the event has data attached (like arguments of commands) the format can be given here. How the format string is defined is defined within the dim libarary. It is used in console and shell access to properly format the data sent with the event

From the dim manual: The format parameter specifies the contents of the structure in the form T:N[;T:N]*[;T] where T is the item type: (I)nteger, (C)haracter, (L)ong, (S)hort, (F)loat, (D)ouble, and N is the number of such items. The type alone at the end means all following items are of the same type. Example: "I:3;F:2;C" means 3 Integers, 2 Floats and Characters until the end. The format parameter is used for communicating between different platforms.
