sending events

[Marc Schellens <m_schellens(at)hotmail.com>]

Hello everybody,

talking to a colleague, I came to the
question, when one would need widget_control,ID,SENT_EVENT=...

The only advantage over calling the eventhandler directly 
I can think of, is that you don't need eventhandlers name
(Ok, it might indeed be a big andvantage, if you program
in a team).
Do I miss something?
Is there another reason/situation were sending events is
really needed?

thanks for suggestions,
marc
