[linux-audio-dev] a bit off topic: GUI-lib-programming (how does it usually work?)

Hi! I know, this may be a bit off topic. But I've a dificulty: I'm currently programming a textbase "GUI"-lib. I want the programming API to be similar to on of a real GUI-lib (gtk, you name them). Now I'm wondering, there are menus. Menus have menuitems and if you click on one, something should happen. How is this "something should happen" part usually done? - I thought of the java-apporach, deriving your own menu-class. But it doesn't feel right. I have my dificulties with trying GUI-libs myself, for I'm blind. I could write some code, but wouldn't know, if it works, like I planned. Any thoughts, help on this, anyone? I would be greatful!
