GWindows is targeted for ease of use by a VB / Delphi crowd. Adding multiple handlers is easy to implement for some one like me or you if we needed them using GWindows either through inheritance or creating a generic adapter to the current mechanisms. >From practical real world experience, the idea of using multiple handlers leads to sloppy programs unless you have tight control on the entire development process or all top notch people working for you.
