1. setHandler(), Pro v. Con
I noticed that win32lib v 0.57 gives documentation for using
setHandler() and not modifiying it directly with the event sequences.
--using this
setHandler(okButton, w32HClick, routine_id("myClickHandler"))
--instead of this
onClick[ okButton] = routine_id( "myClickHandler")
Why the change? What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages?
2. Re: setHandler(), Pro v. Con
setHandler() has been there for quite awhile. It is not a new thing. I got
to documenting better when I added extra functionality to setHandler() -
such as having a chain of handlers for the same event.
The main advantage over directly modifing the global variables, onXXX, is
that it enables the library to change its internals without breaking
existing code. For example, I can add extra parameters to pass to the
handlers now.
By exposing win32lib interals by using global variables, it binds the
internals to code using the library. I wish to uncouple this so that it is
easier to improve the internals without breaking code using the library.

Ok, I'll add setHandler() as an alias for connect() in Llama/GTK, and
I'll give it the ability to chain handlers. What other "extra
functionality"
does setHandler() have?

BTW, where can I obtain a version of the Win32Lib documentation that
can be read via Linux (i.e. text files, html files, maybe .rtf files?)

Almost all Win32Lib documentation is in HTML and plain TXT format, isn't
it?

Yes. There is no Microsoft specific doc formats for win32lib. It comes as
HTML.

Thanks for the info, Ron Tarrant gave me the documentation for Win32LIb
v.55
and a link for v.57. It has proven very helpful to me.
