Hmm now that I think about it, I don't think this is really possible at compile time. You have to consider issues like multiple bases (Through either a linear chain of inheritance, or multiple inheritance cases).

If there were only a way to simplify this. Specifying the base class in two places is obviously error-prone, and I am hoping there are other solutions to cleaning this up.

It sounds like is_base_of and BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT would be enough to catch the errors at least? That is, you could make your own macro that does the type checking before passing the arguments on to BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE.

I'm using wxWidgets, and as you all may know they have a silly macro used to define an event table...

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( MainWindow, wxFrame ) EVT_CLOSE( MainWindow::OnClose ) END_EVENT_TABLE()
