Detailed Description
Actual iEventHandler implementation.
This is in a wrapper class so it can be properly refcounted and the csBaseEventHandler can be used in co-inheritance with non-refcounted classes.

| virtual csHandlerID csBaseEventHandler::EventHandlerImpl::GenericID | ( | csRef< iEventHandlerRegistry > & | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
This function returns a csHandlerID corresponding with GenericName, i.e., it should always return csHandlerRegistry::GetGenericID (this->GenericName()).
Normally, it will actually wrap a static method StaticID() which can be used to reference a class of event handlers abstractly without it having been instantiated. Usually, you will want to use the CS_EVENTHANDLER_NAMES macro instead of defining this yourself.

| virtual const char* csBaseEventHandler::EventHandlerImpl::GenericName | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
This function returns a string which "names" this event handler generically (i.e., it identifies all instances of this event handler as a group).
For example, the core application logic would be "application", a window system plugin would be "crystalspace.windowsystem", etc. This is used, in combination with the GenericPrec, GenericSucc, InstancePrec, and InstanceSucc functions, by the subscription scheduler to establish the order in which event handlers are to be called.
Too bad C++ doesn't allow virtual static functions, because this would be one. To make up for this, it is conventional to also define a static method StaticHandlerName() which can be used to reference a class of event handlers abstractly without it having been instantiated, e.g., csBaseEventHandler::StaticHandlerName().
The csEventHandlerRegistry also uses this method to construct a unique instance name for each iEventHandler.
Usually, you will want to use the CS_EVENTHANDLER_NAMES macro instead of defining this yourself.

This function takes a csEventID as an argument and returns an array of csHandlerIDs identifying those event handlers which must, for the given event, only be called before this one (if they have been instantiated).
Should only return generic identifiers, not instance identifiers; in other words, every member of the array should be the result of a call to csHandlerRegistry::GetGenericID("name"), where "name" may be some class's static GenericName() function or a literal string.
This should also be a "virtual static" function, but C++ doesn't have them.

| virtual bool csBaseEventHandler::EventHandlerImpl::HandleEvent | ( | iEvent & | ) | [inline, virtual] |
This is the basic event handling function.
To receive events, a component must implement iEventHandler and register with an event queue using iEventQueue::RegisterListener() and iEventQueue::Subscribe(). The event handler should return true if the event was handled. Returning true prevents the event from being passed along to other event handlers (unless the event's Broadcast flag has been set, in which case it is sent to all subscribers regardless of the return value). If the event was not handled, then false should be returned, in which case other event handlers are given a shot at the event. Do not return true unless you really handled the event and want event dispatch to stop at your handler.

This function takes a csEventID as an argument and returns an array of csHandlerIDs identifying those event handlers which must, for the given event, only be called before this one.
May include both generic and instance identifiers, i.e., the results of both csHandlerRegistry::GetGenericID() and csHandlerRegistry::GetID() calls.
If the instance constraints are the same as the generic ones, use the CS_EVENTHANDLER_DEFAULT_INSTANCE_CONSTRAINTS macro instead of defining this for yourself.
