 I have no trouble believing this as I often have to implement the same
thing (but much less elegantly) in C++ code but I still have the feeling
that it isn't right that it's needed so often. Something seems to be wrong
with wx event processing if so many things don't have any natural place
where they could be done. I don't have a precise idea of what exactly those
things are now how to correct this...
