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: <http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/subclassing.html#subclassing_events> Albrecht _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
