Hi John,

Thanks for the quick responses (always).

I would be really glad with that. If i understand you well, running a 
lua script from within the application would display this button. And if 
possible, when pressing the button a function in C++ calls a second lua 
script.
What i am special interested in is how to call lua script from C++ 
objects, and how to interface information back to lua. I understand this 
is based on ConnectEvent(), and the event is bringing the C++ info to 
the lua function.
In the end i want to have a2dCanvasObject draw itself using a luascript. 
And this will have its own eventhandler class and customevents and id's. 
So i need to understand the mechanism, and how i can use it.
Anyway a sample explaining how to write your own bindings and how to use 
them in an application is i think very welcome.

But when i grep i still see wxLuaInterpreter. I am not yet at the level 
of understanding those changes.
I saw wxLuaState all around, it seems you now use a  class for the luastate.
Would it be possible you write a small introduction on how this all 
works, and add it to the docs dir?
I am now trying to search the mailing list for this information, but 
this is not so easy.

What is your opinion on using Doxygen for documenting the code. Doxygen 
always helps be to understand the structure of code, because it makes it 
so easy to browse to almost anything right away.

:-) I am sure you are making things much easier.
Still a small help on where to start, like the most important classes 
and how they interact would be cool.

Sorry for asking so much, i would prefer to help you  instead, but first 
i need to understand :-(

Thanks,

Klaas
