Summary: wxWindowCreateEvents not sent for wxControl derivatives

Initial Comment:
wxWindowCreateEvents are not sent for widgets like
wxTextCtrl or wxTreeCtrl. The cause is that WM_CREATE
is sent because the window is subclasses so wxWidgets
never sees WM_CREATE. The following code addition to
wxControl::MSWCreateControl corrects this problem by
sending wxWindowCreateEvent after the window has been
created with CreateWindowEx and after it has been
subclassed:

Line 168 of src/msw/control.cpp in 2.6.3, replace this
block:
    // install wxWidgets window proc for this window
    SubclassWin(m_hWnd);

    // set up fonts and colours
    InheritAttributes();

With this block:
    // install wxWidgets window proc for this window
    SubclassWin(m_hWnd);

    // Make sure to send the wxWindowCreateEvent
    wxWindowCreateEvent create_event(this);
    GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent(create_event);

    // set up fonts and colours
    InheritAttributes();
