Yes, "they" can and they *should*. Usually you will only handle
those events that you use to _extend_ the widget's functionality,
e.g. FL_ENTER and FL_LEAVE for highlighting.

Now that you are going into the depth's of event handling I
suggest to (re)read the FLTK docs, particularly the chapters

"Handling Events"
<http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/events.html>

and "Adding and Extending Widgets"
<http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/subclassing.html>.

Handling events in subclasses is explained there together with
example code:
