In fact, you don't have to derive a new class from a window class
if you don't want to. You can derive a new class from wxEvtHandler instead,
- defining the appropriate event table, and then call wxWindow::SetEventHandler
+ defining the appropriate event table, and then call wxWindow::SetEventHandler
(or, preferably, wxWindow::PushEventHandler) to make this
event handler the object that responds to events. This way, you can avoid
a lot of class derivation, and use instances of the same event handler class (but different
will never conflict with the user-specified identifiers which must be always
positive.
- The following standard identifiers are supplied. You can use wxID_HIGHEST to
- determine the number above which it is safe to define your own identifiers. Or,
- you can use identifiers below wxID_LOWEST.
