// wxWindow-wxControlBase-wxControl branch and one for the wxIC mix-in.
// Consequently, the "this" pointer has different value when in wxControl's
// and wxIC's method, even though the instance stays same. This doesn't matter
// so far as member pointers aren't used, but that's not wxControl's case.
// When we add an event table entry (= use a member pointer) pointing to
// wxIC's OnXXX method, GCC compiles code that executes wxIC::OnXXX with the
// version of "this" that belongs to wxControl, not wxIC! In our particular
// case, the effect is that m_handler is NULL (probably same memory
// area as the_other_vtable's_this->m_refObj) and input handling doesn't work.)
