 Again, Connect() does the same thing as an event table entry, i.e. an
EVT_XXX(MyClass::OnEvent) line. Nothing more, nothing less.

 The event type is the C++ type of the associated event object. An ID is
simply one of several pieces of information carried by all events (as they
all derive from wxEvent which has GetId()).

 I think studying the samples (in this case, the "event" one) is the best
way to clear up the confusion.
