In a case like this I'd probably prefer to number the methods rather
than add underscores to the end of the names.  My current font, for
example, connects the underscores together, so it's a bit hard from a
glance to tell if it's just two underscores or three.

I'd prefer OnLeftDClick1, OnLeftDClick2, OnLeftDClick3, for example.

And I also prefer pep8 method names as well, on_left_dclick1, etc.  But
when the underlying library doesn't follow pep8, then I guess it does
not matter (self.Bind is from the library I presume).
