First you say I can add a new type and then you say I can't.
No wonder I'm confused!!! :-)

Did you implement the GUI assuming there would never be any other event types?

Or do you plan to completely redo the GUI in the future to support an
open ended set of event types?

Was it faster or easier to implement a GUI for six built-in types than
to implement a GUI for an extensible set of types?
