Is there any utility function which interprets the bits of an event's type into text?
Colin W.
This is a lovely snippet of code, but to my surprise, when I tried getting
the name for type EVT_MENU, I got EVT_TOOL_RANGE. A closer look revealed
that there are four entries with the same type:
10010 EVT_MENU
10010 EVT_MENU_RANGE
10010 EVT_TOOL
10010 EVT_TOOL_RANGE
After removing duplicate type entries, the original 231 entries was reduced
to 196, so there are 35 duplicates. I would appreciate an explanation for
this.
Thanks,
Roger House

There is more to an event than its ID number. EVT_MENU_RANGE is a
shortcut that lets you bind EVT_MENU for a series of IDs. EVT_MENU is
bound with one parameter, EVT_MENU_RANGE is bound with two parameters (a
range of IDs), but it's the same event.
Windows treats tool bar hits and menu selections identically, so it's
not a surprise that they bind to the same ID.
