One exception to the rule in the previous paragraph is if you really
want to \e override the behavior of the base class. This requires
knowledge of the details of the inherited class.
In rare cases you may want to return 1 from your handle() method
although you don't really handle the event. The effect would be to
\e filter event processing, for instance if you want to dismiss
non-numeric characters (keypresses) in a numeric input widget. You
may "ring the bell" or show another visual indication or drop the
event silently. In such a case you must not call the handle() method
of the base class and tell FLTK that you \e consumed the event by
returning 1 even if you didn't \e do anything with it.
