As said to Bill, there won't be any changes in this area for 601. Down
the road we probably won't extend the events handled for built in
controls, but probably will move more towards, controls built on an
isigraph. Note that grid and plot are quite complex controls and that
grid has its own scrollbars. The event set for the isigraph is now
complete so you should be able to do most of what you want. We really
don't want to talk about this now. But suspect it will be a hot topic
once the final release is out.

Subject: Liberty for Events! WAS: [Jbeta] scrollbar event
I wish I understood the event system better. My primitive
view is that the OS sends J a bunch of events, and J decides
which ones it will handle and which it will pass to user code,
and discards the rest.
Like Bill says, nowadays J can handle a lot of events.
Why not have a foreign that lets the J app indicate what
events it will handle? Then there will be no need
for system modification every time a user makes a
good case for an event. The call would be something like
EVENT_HOVER 9!:51 <'hover'
to start handling the HOVER event.
For events associated with a form, the event will pass to wdhandler
to be processed in the form's locale. The right argument to
9!:51 is the name of the handler (wdhandler will append
form_ and child_ as appropriate).
For other events, the given handler will be called directly.

Subject: [Jbeta] scrollbar event
can scrollbar trigger an event while dragging the thumb? IMO
hardware is much
faster than that of 10 years ago, more events can be handled
when running J.
