What's wrong with the following code. When I click buttons no event handler is
called.

procedure select_prog2edit(integer  enable_suppress)
atom dlgSelectProg, btnSelectOk,  btnSelectCancel, btnSelectDelete
object fnVal
sequence choices
  
  prog_id = 0
  prog2edit = {}
  choices = {}
for i = 1 to length(programs) do choices =
  append(choices,programs[i][SESSION_NAME]) end for
dlgSelectProg = create(wxDialog,{CTrainerMainWin,-1,"Sélection du
  programme",-1,-1,300,305})
ProgListBox =
  create(wxListBox,{dlgSelectProg,IDD_LISTBOX,10,10,280,200,choices})
btnSelectOk = create(wxButton,{dlgSelectProg,IDD_SELECT_OK,"A&ccepter",
  20,220,60,30})
btnSelectCancel =
  create(wxButton,{dlgSelectProg,IDD_SELECT_CANCEL,"&Annuler",210,220,60,30})
  if enable_suppress then
btnSelectDelete =
    create(wxButton,{dlgSelectProg,IDD_SELECT_DELETE,"&Supprimer",115,220,60,30})
set_event_handler(dlgSelectProg,{IDD_SELECT_OK,IDD_SELECT_CANCEL,IDD_SELECT_DELETE},wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED,
                      routine_id("evt_select_prog2edit"))
  else
set_event_handler(dlgSelectProg,{IDD_SELECT_OK,IDD_SELECT_CANCEL},wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED,
                      routine_id("evt_select_prog2edit"))
  
  end if
  fnVal =  show_modal(dlgSelectProg)
  if platform()=WIN32 then
    delete_instance(dlgSelectProg)
  end if
  if  fnVal = IDD_SELECT_CANCEL then
    return 
  else
    if fnVal > 0 and fnVal <= length(programs) then
      prog_id = fnVal
      prog2edit = programs[prog_id]
    end if
    return 
  end if
end procedure

Its what I tried at first but it doesn't work.
I tried:

constant IDD_BUTTON_xxx = new_id()-- declared buttons id like this

-- first try (for each button)
set_event_handler(button, IDD_BUTTON_xxx, ....)
-- second try (for each button)
set_event_handler(button,get_id(button), ....)
-- third try
set_event_handler(dlg,{IDD_BUTTON_xx1,IDD_BUTTON_xx2,IDD_BUTTON_xx3},...)

none of the above works

That wright. It's what I did at first, but it was apparently not working. The
error was in the event handler itself. I was calling end_dialog() with the this
parameter which is not the dialog but the button.
So the dialog was nerver closing. From there I wrongly concluded that event
handler was not called.
I should had trace my code before going to wrong conclusion.

thanks both of you for your answer.

Yeah, the event handling is a little different.  It should be whatever was
the first parameter in the call to set_event_handler.  So generally, you can
have a control handle its own events, or allow its parent to do that.  

It all makes more sense in an OO environment (which wxWidgets is).  Also,
I've tried to make as many things as possible work similarly to win32lib,
but of course, not every peg manages to fit that round hole, which can lead
to some confusion.  But I think that overall, it's better to be similar,
because it generally leads to a less steep learning curve.
