Hi Mark,
how hard would it be to write a function to get the control
identifiers of menus ?
It seems that getting started and finding out what the names of the
things are one can control is really tricky.
How are others going about this?
(Regarding your underscore: I now understand your reason for it, and I
would suggest to use a leading underscore, even if it goes somewhat
against the usual Python use of it, it seems a good way of preventing
(most) names clashes, and still having all methods "next" to one
another (if sorted alphabetically))
