Question about EventHandler - missing documentation
Mariusz Jankowski
documentation" posts. I am working with EventHandler and cannot find
complete documentation on the type of "events" supported. For example,
"MouseClicked" is not listed although it shows up in many examples! For
the partial listing see EventHandler in Doc. Center.
Specifically, I wanted to define an Alt-Click event but cannot figure
out how to refer to a mouse click while holding down the "Alt" key.
Thanks for any help, Mariusz

with the Mathematica documentation -- the lack of complete information
about admissible values.
It think the Version 6 reference pages for named objects do a better job
at this than was done in earlier version, namely, in the initial
specification of syntax and the More Information section that follows
it. But still, as for earlier versions, in many cases the totality of
admissible values is only suggested, through the examples. At least we
often have more examples than before, with their neat division into
Basic Examples, Scope, Options, etc.
I can see at least three reasons for why complete specifications for
admissible values are not available: (1) it would be a herculean
undertaking; (2) the docs would become unmanageably huge; (3) for the
newest functionalities, there has not been sufficient time to do it.
I can imagine how unhappy many of us would have been had the release of
Mathematica 6 been delayed for many more months while such "complete"
documentation was completed.

Apparently Mathematica 6 introduces so many new things
that "in the rush" of the released day were left not completely
documented or not documented at all.
