You mean like input.device on the Amiga? Yes.

Toolkits should also deliver events to the GUI object that was active when
the event occurred, not the one that happens to be there when the main loop
in the application gets around to handling THAT event. Anything else is a
race condition, and thus hateful.

Oh, and a single button shouldn't switch between two diametrically opposed
actions such as "stop loading" and "reload".
