[wx-dev] Triple Clicks

on OSX I just get the click count from a native mouse click event

cEvent.GetParameter<UInt32>( kEventParamClickCount, typeUInt32 , 
&clickCount ) ;
and then decide on that whether to make it a double or single click

clickCount > 1 ? wxEVT_LEFT_DCLICK : wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN

so when the triple click should be different, that's not a problem, but 
would this lead to backwards compat problems ? adding another event is 
not an option ?

Best,
