What gives you that idea? Our C++ app framework wraps all the
standard Carbon/HI controls with C++ subclasses. We can call
GetLongValue or GetUnicodeValue on of those wrappers without knowing
or caring what type of control it actually contains. For almost all
of the Carbon Events we care about, the base class automatically
installs the handler, then routes any subclass can override a virtual
method to handle events in a special way if needed. Our windows are
also C++ wrappers for WindowRefs, with subclasses for dlogs,
palettes, and overlays. I might be biased, but I like writing UI
stuff in C++ a heck of a lot more than anything else, including Obj-
C, because we also get multiple inheritance that we use all over the
place to great effect. Does Obj-C 2.0 offer that yet?
