[Pythoncard-users] determining the source of generic event handlers

[<bra...@om...>]

I was glad to discover that generic event handlers such as 'on_closefield' 
(without the widget name) appear to be available in PythonCard, but I 
didn't see this in any documentation. I just gave it a try because that 
was how HyperCard worked. 

HyperCard had a function called "the target" which returned the name of 
the widget from which the event was originally generated. Is there any 
such equivalent method in PythonCard? 

I'd like to subclass model.Background with a class that could intercept 
and process events from all my various backgrounds. This could save me 
from having to define an individual event handler for every single widget, 
at least in cases where these widgets all have features in common. 

Thanks!
