> Windows has 4 types of message flow: the normal processing of messages
> (e.g. WM_MOVE); processing WM_COMMAND notifications (e.g. menus or
> button presses); processing WM_NOTIFY notifications (e.g. virtual list
> data requests); events sent by controls to parents (and possibly
> reflected back to the original sender). Win32GUI uses a std::map< UINT,
> handler > to process events and has one for the normal flow and one each
> for the notification flows; I am not sure how it handles
> reflection/reflected events. The problem with this is that it has 3 maps
> for event handling with the notification handlers being Windows-specific.

Quick note: this is quite implementation specific, and I intend to
change it, as I will port to other platforms.

Best,
John
