Forum: wxRuby number for id

what number is safe to be used for Id?
you see, most of time I use -1 for id which means id is generated
automatically
also there is some fixed id like id for about dialog, or else
but sometimes we need the id number, like when we create shortcut for 
menu
item

So, what range of number is safe? I see the docs and some of them use 
number
> 100
is that ok?
what number is forbidden?

Any value < 65336 is permitted, in theory. Use Wx::ID_ANY / -1 wherever
possible, but otherwise I think values > 3,000 are almost all open for
user use. Some classes (eg Wx::Event) also have methods to give
unreserved ids.
