' This turn around was a group work.    Thanks to John, Paul and Warriant
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Note:
' All CallBack_X.Inc are fully compatible with all the other CallBack_X.Inc
' and with NewWndProc.Inc. You can include any or all of them in your code.
' CallBackAll.Inc includes all the CallBack_X.Inc and NewWndProc.Inc
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' A Short Example is Better than a long Theory for a Four Arguments CallBack
' The Extra Argument not counted
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' $Include "CallBack_4.Inc"        ' _4 may be _0, _1, ..., _8   = Nbr of arguments of Your CallBack
'
' Function UserCallBackFunctionName (A1 As Long, A2 As Long, A3 as Long , A4 As Long) As Long
'     ' nice efficient code
' End Function
'
' DefInt iAnyName
' Bind iAnyName To UserCallBackFunctionName            ' iAnyName maybe reused but in some case not
' DefInt lpfnCallBack = SetNewCallBack_4 (iAnyName)    ' _4 = Nbr of arguments of your CallBack
'
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' That's it
'
' CallBack_x.Inc automatically include CallBackForwarder.Inc if not yet included.
' LIMITATIONS :
'   - _4 Can be _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8  for  1,2,3,4,4,6,7,8 Arguments
'   - There is no maximum number of callback anymore
'   - Any Use of the RapidQ CodePtr Word will DEEPLY harm this
'     !!!!!!!!!!  YOU CANNOT USE CODEPTR ANYMORE  !!!!!!!!!!!!!
'     RapidQ allows only one CodePtr for Each Function Prototype, if
'     two CodePtr are used to point 4 arguments functions, the latter
'     will overwrite the former (See CallBackBugDemo.Bas).
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' HOW IT WORKS :
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  - the external process calls the CallBack Forwarder
'  - the callback forwarder forwards the Caller to the master callback function
'    (i.e MasterCallBack_4 in CallBack_4.Inc). It adds a first argument which is an
'    the RapidQ handle of the RqFunction to forward to (Bind RqFuncHandle To YourCallBackFunc).
'  - the master callback use CallFunc to Call the User CallBack. The Master Callback
'    is built in the callback_X Include file.
'
'  The Programmer Must (example for a 4 arguments CallBack):
'    1 - Get the RapidQ Function Handle of his CallBack Function
'          DefInt hRqFunction
'          Bind hRqFunction To RqCallBackFunction
'    2 - Create a CallBack Forwarder for his CallBack by calling
'      lpfnCallBackForwarder = SetNewCallBack_4 (hRqFunction)
'      lpfnCallBackForwarder returned by SetNewCallBack_4 is the address/lpfn
'      you have to pass to the external process.

' ---- CallBack Forwader Documentation ---------------------------------------------
' The CallBack Forwarder Code (14 bytes) will be Generated in an allocated memory space,
' the pointer to that space is returned by the function.
' ForwardTo : a function pointer to our callback funtion (+ one one : first = CallBack
'             Index you choose)
' CBIndex   : a user choosen number to identify this CallBack forwarder
