I use something like this (this assumes a requester, and I cut out the 
usual loop for GetMsg, the Wait(), etc.., but should give you the idea):

mes = (struct IntuiMessage *) GetMsg(window->UserPort);

class = mes->Class;

if (class == REQSET) ActivateGadget(&gadget, window, &req);

Seems to work all the time.
