[lazarus] My opinions

[Shane Miller]

We could add the SELF to the message stuircture that we send.

Hey Cliff, on an offshoot of this topic, does QT use the fcomponent that we are using for GTK or are you ignoring it?  I'm wondering if it should be moved out into a different class if QT and WIN32 aren't going to use it.

If we do that we also need to make sure to pass the object since in win32
and QT I need to ident the object making the call...

Florian brings up a good point. We COULD call the functions directly in SOME
cases, like drawpixel as long as we made sure that each ???object.pp file
has those functions in them.  This certainly would speed things up.   

I like the send message function because then we only need to have one real
public function in the object interface (gtkinterface class) but if we were
able to call the functions directgly, we would aviod the large CASE
statement but then we would have to make sure that we add a function called
DRAWPIXEL in the win32 interface, the QT interface, etc.  I think in this
case that would work though....

Thoughts?

But the message dispatching takes a lot of time (compared with a direct
virtual call), remember my drawpixel example!
