Reading english is not me problem.

I dont want support MS any kindway i want wrote programs which at least somelevel feels they are really Amiga programs not only lookin but how they work.:)

he he, I was thinking modern != amiga, but its all a question of preseparation I suppose.
I think of the way Reaction and MUI works as different.

xyz_Click() is not some thing unique to MS, its code for JavaScript or Java, can also some times look a lot like that.

Befits of setting up a table; cleaner code, faster code. Drawback some extra work as you need some code initialize the table. (Actually setting up the switch case might be just as time consuming.)

Compilers can translate switch statements to table lookup(s) or table lookup(s) + some extra checks. That applies to GCC, LLVM/CLANG, ICC etc.

That's cool, I guess if they check boundary's its possible, smallest and largest number with in the range of valid numbers, or else default, you also need to check for gaps in the number sequence.

Yes and even more complicated mappings too, this paper lists a number of them if you are interested: https://ols.fedoraproject.org/GCC/Reprints-2008/sayle-reprint.pdf

But IMHO using a table tends to be cleaner looking than a switch. :)

I don't know why we have to resort to MS like code. We should be able produce optimised Amiga code readily. Infact, historically, MS software has been rather slow so I don't know if they are the best example!

But, I do see where you are coming from, it just hasn't bothered me that much as most of my IDCMP checking would be for a close window or gadget click. And for a gadget the ID would be made use of.

MS like, not MS code nescessarily. VB and C# is interpretated code so its slow, C# is bit nicer to work with, but I most admit not having written a lot code using C#.

on the other hand VB/C# is just calling DLL's or OCX files that might be optimized or not, it depends on what your trying to make, writing things in C++ might be the better choice if you wont speed.

the most annoying part is lack of threading in the Window GUI system, having to force refreshing the GUI, on tasks that is time consuming, this makes the program look sluggish, but it might be just working really hard on some thing.

Well that's the point, I don't think the event loop is the most important part to optimize, but the code becomes more readable so it might be worth it, at least if you have many case's in your switch.

C# is not interpreted.

Use threads. In fact it can be good idea to seperate GUI and data processing to separate thread. There is no way around it, were you developing for Windows or Amiga.
