Great :)
Just to be clear about that: you can see the "connect" line as a dynamic
registration process (with the symetric disconnect operation available
via ... "disconnect"). The only thing you need is to connect (at
runtime) the even before it's called (obvious isn't it ? ;) ), but you
have no other constraint. You can even choose to connect/disconnect
events when they are used/unused ... You can also connect a single event
many times (to different functions) or you can connect many events to
the same function. This is the "power" of this system :) Like now if you
want to log your strings on a file, you just define the function writing
in the file and connect the event to this function: you'll have both the
GUI and the log-file outputs !
This is, AFAIK, the best existing implementation for user interfaces !
