Its a standard windows API technique, not at all specific to venster.

Remember, venster mostly just exposes the win32 API, it's not a gui framework in 
itself.

In venster 0.7, the test directory, test_scintilla.py

ID_EVAL = 8001 

is an example of a "private" message type

in MainForm, the _msg_map at the bottom shows how that message number is 
vectored to the MainForm.OnEval method

You an use venster.windows.PostMessage to asyncly send your private message 
type to your form's hwnd.

I suggest you consult any basic WIN32 windows API document, like the MSDN 
website.
