MSG_META_NULL, MSG_META_DUMMY

The following two messages are mainly place holders. They ensure that no message will have the value zero or one. (When a message is called, a value of zero equates to null.) These are not used by applications or objects in general.

MSG_META_NULL
void	MSG_META_NULL();

This message has no handler and is unused. It essentially ensures that no other message will ever have the value zero.

Interception: Don't.

MSG_META_DUMMY
void	MSG_META_DUMMY();

This message has no handler. You should not subclass this message to provide one. Certain object mechanisms, such as the resolution of a variant class, are activated by the object's receipt of MSG_META_DUMMY .

Interception: Don't.
