I'm not sure I understand, all events are captured by your event
handler for wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_SPINCTRL_UPDATED?

In terms of easing the amount of duplicate code perhaps something like
this could work. (untested)

function CreateMySpinCtrl(parent, id, ...)
    local win =3D wx.wxSpinCtrl(parent, id, ...)
    win:ConnectEvent(id, wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_SPINCTRL_UPDATED, func)
    return win -- return it for further processing if desired, ok if not us=

end

Are you saying that you cannot use the same function for two separate
win: ConnectEvent calls? I don't know of any reason why this shouldn't
work. Maybe you could post the simplest snippet of code that shows
your problem, just add a panel and two controls to the
VeryMinimal.wx.lua sample.
