Yes, to implement the constructor and handle() method.
To make a new function/method with your own code, you:
a) Use New -> Code -> Function/method -- creates the function
prototype/definition
b) Use New -> Code -> Code -- creates the code for the
function/method
This is how one can implement your own custom functions
and custom methods for custom classes inside fluid.
(To make custom classes, see below)

Sounds good so far.
Be sure you're working with the /second/ example I sent,
not the first one. Note I replied to myself with a modified version
of the file.

Yes, that 'something' is a class definition, eg New -> Code -> Class,
the custom class being "MyGroup", and yes, that new class is setup
to derive from Fl_Group.
If you poke around in fluid, you can open the MyGroup class
and see the two methods defined inside it; MyGroup() [the constructor]
and handle() [the event handler].
You should be able to look at this by highlighting the item
and hitting F1 to see the properties for the class definition,
which shows how it derives from Fl_Group.

Can you paste the 2 files here; hover.cxx and hover.h?
The lines in hover.h that define the ctor should look like:
----
public:
MyGroup(int X,int Y,int W,int H,const char *L=0);
----
..and the definition of the constructor in hover.cxx should look like:
----
MyGroup::MyGroup(int X,int Y,int W,int H,const char *L):Fl_Group(X,Y,W,H,L) {
// empty
}
----
If yours look different in some way, esp. the 'L' argument,
it might be an inconsistency with fluid's code generator.
But be sure you're using the second fluid file I sent,
ie. the message that starts off saying:
"Actually, the following .fl file should work better."
