[WIN] Could it be a misfire?

Howdy y'all! Once again, I think I may have uncovered a bug in win32lib.ew. This time it concerns radio controls on tab items, specifically a possible misfiring on the radio controls' onClick events. Because the code causing the problem is integrated into a lot of code, I'll not tick off the list by attaching all of it. If you want to take a look at the bug in action, give me a holler and I'll send the code to you privately. Anyhoo, here's the set-up: I have a window with three tab items. On tab item 2 there are four radio buttons (not enclosed in a group control) with the run-time id's of 74, 75, 76, 77. All of these radios fire the same procedure when clicked ... the procedure tells which one fired the event by using getSelf(). Now then, if I do not click any of these radio buttons, I can go from tab 2 to tab 1 without a problem. If I click one of the radio controls, the code works as it should. But, if I then click tab 1, all radios with an id number higher than the currently checked radio mysteriously respond to an onClick event. In other words: 1. I click on radio 75. All is well. 2. I click on the tab for tab item 1. At this point, radios 76 and 77 fire off onClick events, causing my poor little program to do something Very Unexpected. The interesting thing is, given the above scenario, radio 74 does not fire an event. The workaround for this was simple ... I just needed to write in code to verify that the responsible control is checked. But, I reckon it's something that needs to be looked into just the same. Happy Hunting, Travis Beaty Claude, Texas.
