I have my own widget(s) inside TopWindow, this widget should react to hot-keys. Only widget itself knows what these keys are.
So I am trying to do:

class MainWindow: public TopWindow {
  BaseWidget widget*;
};
void MainWindow::ChooseWidget() {
widget = WidgetFactory(widget_id);
this.Add(&*widget);
widget->SetupHotKeys(this);
}

Widgets are defined like this:

class BaseWidget: public Ctrl {
public:
  virtual void SetupHotKeys(TopWindow &tw) = 0;
};
class RealWidget: public BaseWidget {
  void foo1();
  void foo2();
  void SetupHotKeys(TopWindow &tw) {
    tw.SomeKindOfAssignKey(K_A, THISBACK(foo1));
    tw.SomeKindOfAssignKey(K_SHIFT_A, THISBACK(foo2));
  }
};

So the question is what is the name of the function which does actual key assignments? Am I going in the right direction? Any tutorial or examples with similar functionality?
