Thanks for all this information. I was going throught the interface files
and to see how they are written I opened the wxwidgets version which the
interface file said it was updated to. To see how things changed from the
include file to the interface file.
I can follow some things. But now I opened the latest wxwidgets
include file for events -event.h and this seems to have transformed a lot.
Particularly there are some templates functions like CallAfter. Now I am
trying to see if there is any existing template function binding in any
interface file so I can try to add that. Do you know of any that you looked
at, or any idea of any particular thing to take care of to bind templates
functions?
Thanks,
Milind
