An event is something that may happen on a channel. You have to wait
for it to get a value from the channel. You can either wait for one
event using the function "Event.sync", wait for any of a list of
events with "select" or check if an event has already happen with
"poll".

Yes, you need to define a function each time. But you can do it inline :
method paint = List.iter (fun x -> x#paint) _objs
