What I want to express is to move "ConfigCode" into the event_filed array which can also guarantee its original function. like this:
event_fields = [
	  ...
          ('AnyThread', 'any='),
          ('PortMask', 'ch_mask='),
          ('ConfigCode', 'config='),
	  ...
]

Haha, my English language proficiency still needs improvement, please forgive me.

Ok, will do.
