// Handle messages that might be generated by the system.               //
// By default a handler only keeps track of the different messages      //
// generated for a specific class. By deriving from this class and      //
// overriding Notify() one can implement custom message handling.       //
// In Notify() one has access to the message id and the object          //
// generating the message. One can install more than one message        //
// handler per class. A message handler can be removed or again         //
// added when needed.                                                   //
