I see you are still a bit lost. Maybe the documentation can help:

I in fact am lost (as I still don't dare to try to look into the
compiler's source code).
Unfortunately the docs text does not say what code the compiler
generates to make the library assign the message to the function it
generates from the users source code.
That is because the compiler doesn't generate that code.
Somewhere user code must call
MyObject.Dispatch(MyMessage);
See implementation of dispatch. It gets the message number and looks for the
corresponding method in a table. The compiler generates this table at compile time.
This may not be the completely accurate description, but this is how I model things
in my mind and in my experiments reality hasn't falsified this model.
