Windows and Subclassing - 'OverflowError': int too long to convert

[Eko palypse]

Hello Eryk,
thank you for your interest in my problem and you've nailed it, the problem
was solved by putting all Windows API definitions in a separate module and
making sure that I only use WinDLL.
I would never have thought of that, because I only used WinDLL in this
module.
But a PostMessage in another module, which I created with windll, seems to
have confused things a bit and now that I have merged this and other
modules into one, I don't see the problem anymore.
Here is the desired excerpt. (user32 is now import from win32api, where all
other definitions are now also)

    def new_scintilla2_proc(self, hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam):
        if self.__WndProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam):
            return 0

        print(f'{hWnd=}, {msg=}, {wParam=}, {lParam=}')
        return user32.CallWindowProcW(self.prev_scintilla2_wnd_proc, hWnd,
msg, wParam, lParam)


    def __WndProc(self, hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam):
        event_handler = self._event_handler.get(msg, None)
        if event_handler:
            return event_handler(msg, wParam, lParam)
        return False

Once again, thank you
Eren
