For now, just make the TabControl.WndProc call through to "base.WndProc" and
leave it like that. See the bottom of "ButtonBase.cs" for an example.
Events are delivered from the toolkit to the "Control" class, which then
dispatches events via the "OnXXX" methods. You override these methods and
viola!, events work!
For a more concrete example, here is what happens when you click the mouse
button in a control:
- Xsharp intercepts the X event and dispatches it to "OnButtonPress"
in the "DrawingWindow" class.
- "DrawingWindow.OnButtonPress" calls "ToolkitMouseDown" on its event
sink, which is the "Control" instance ("Control" implements
"IToolkitEventSink").
- "Control.ToolkitMouseDown" calls "OnMouseDown" and we are now in
WinForms land, handling WinForms events.
(Aside: this is a lot more efficient than my first attempt, which used lots
and lots of delegates).
The "WndProc" method is completely bypassed at the moment. We may need to
implement it later if there is some dumb Windows programmer out there who
says "Hey! I can just override the WM_FOOBAR message in WndProc!" and there
is no "OnFooBar" method in the WinForms API. We'll cross that road when we
get to it - don't worry about it for now.
Cheers,
Rhys.
