mouse wheel scrolling -- events not being received



I have succeeded in handling mouse clicks in an application but have been
unable to catch mouse wheel scrolling events.  Based on extensive reading
of previous postings in this list, the following example program should
work for mouse wheel scrolling but it doesn't.  The click-handling part
works.  Note that this example program is not intended to do anything
useful, just to show that the events are being received.  Does anyone see
anything I've done wrong in attaching the wheel scrolling event or
anything I've overlooked?
