Yes, he found an old copy and sent it to me.

This control is actually the more complicated case, so simplifying it 
to single type would be useful too. What I'm aiming for is not 
necessarily using single (C++) type for all axes here, but single 
base type more specific than wxWindow, so that we can manipulate the 
control without dynamic_cast<>:

   wxChoice
      +-- AxisAdjustControl (with LMI-specific methods)
           +-- DurationAdjustControl
           +...

Or, if all possible kinds of axis adjustability are same as for 
Duration (or only Duration can be adjusted), then simply

   wxChoice
      +-- UpperBoundControl (with LMI-specific methods)

This is clearly not possible if it makes sense to have both spinctrl- 
and choice-based adjustability of axes (of upper bound or some other 
parameter) -- does it?

If it doesn't, then I think the above is the simplest way of avoiding 
dynamic_cast<>s; if it does, then something similar -- albeit more 
complicated -- is still doable using composite controls 
(AxisAdjustControl would be a wxPanel and derived classes would add 
different children to it).

Thanks,
Vaclav
