[wxPython-users] event binding broken?

[Raffaello Barella]

My bug was searched, found and destroyed, and I gather the solution of this
tiny drama may be of some interest for the forum.
I use to keep trace of the last position of my frames, to recover it at the
next opening.
Since this frame can be closed by the wx.CLOSE_BOX , a button and a menu, I
thought it would have been particularly bright to bind the three events
(EVT_CLOSE, EVT_MENU and EVT_MENU)  to the same method. Well, it wasn't:
none of those events ever arrived to the method.
The working solution I found is to bind each event to a different function,
which in turn will call the one function that actually stores the frame's
position.
If something more elegant can be suggested, I'll oblige.
