I have always wondered why that is not the case.

This way scripting would be a lot easier for us and we do not have to remember 
the many different messages
the widgets have. Yes, they can be seen in the script editor on the left side, 
nevertheless... :-)

Examples:
PolyGrid -> cellclick
PolyList -> itemclick
Segmentedcontrol -> hilitechanged
Switch Button -> hilitechanged
Radial Slider -> valueChanged
Navigation Bar -> hilitechanged
Line Graph -> receives NO message at all?



It seems to me that for most of these (not sure about Line Graph) that 
'selectionChanged' is the more applicable 'standard' message than a 
mouseUp or mouseDown, although I would wholly agree that every (or 
nearly every) widget should pass mouseUp and mouseDown if they do not.

Maybe I forgot one or two things here, but I think you get the picture.
Thank you for your opinions.

Re: Possible enhancement request

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

for good or bad, the lcb style guide section on events as excerpted, here

says
that those events are recommended, but not required.
in many of those widgets, it would also be nice if there was a way to
intercept the click, and decide what to do, before it is just done.
that's part of what led to the birth of the "navrad" widget - intercept a
click in the navbar and decide whether the hilite should be allowed to
change or not, instead of changing the hilite first, and then undoing it if
it should not have been allowed.
