Comment on ToDo in wxmax

Comment by woollybah:

I'll need to find out how to create custom events programatically.
Normally you'd use a macro, but I guess there must be a way to create
new ones on-the-fly.

Depending on whether or not you're building with
WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES, you would either call wxNewEventType
(returns an integer that represents the new event ID), or you would
implement wxNewEventType() yourself and return an ID that is
wxEVT_FIRST/wxEVT_USER_FIRST plus a counter, respectively. After that,
it's just a matter of sending the events.

WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES should only be defined when compiling
for backwards compatibility with older versions of wxWidgets, so I'd
probably go with just calling wxNewEventType().

Ah, okay. One of those "not in the documentation" features :-)

Thanks.  I'll have a look into that!

Not really an undocumented feature, just something that changed
internally but left the same as ye olden days for the sake of easy
compatibility with old code. Just need to look at the header file to
see how custom event IDs are allocated. Now, one thing I can't tell you
how to do is write your own event class in BMax. Event IDs are simple,
obviously, but you can't really just inherit from an old event type and
expect it to work, considering the BMax classes are wrappers of
wrappers, more or less.

So, your call on that side of it.
