[lazarus] wndproc

[Shane Miller]

If possible, send the message struct (if you use that) to the wndproc and have the wndproc send out a message via dispatch to the control.  This is what I asm going to do with GTK.......That's how delphi does it too..

The great winproc debate...

Guys let me know if I am designing the event model in the QT engine
correctly to support this also.

Inside the QT engine this is what takes place.

Each widget is assigned its standard events when it is created. If a event
fires for instance a button is pushed. The click event calls a internal
procedure that will call the single pascal handler for the appropriate
dispatch. In this model I assume a single call back procedure for each
component. So all event calls are recieved by single procedure attached to
each component. In this way you can use a override to customize the event
handling if necessary.

pacalhandler(intEventMessage)

  case intEventMessage of
 
   WM_CLICK
        dispatch call
   WM_DOUBLECLICK
        dispatch call  
   WM_PAINT
        dispatch call


Is this the type of thing we are shooting for...I tried to stay out of the
debate before but need to know the direction so that I can change the base
engine now if necessary.

Oh wow. Excellent.
