[wxPython-users] Subclass XRC & Two stage creation

[甜瓜]

Howdy,
    I'm using wxPython 2.8.7.1 and trying to subclass wx.Hyperlink in
XRCed. As the guide in wxpywiki, I write the code below which simply
sets colors:

class MyHyperlinkCtrl(wx.HyperlinkCtrl):
    def __init__(self):
        p = wx.PreHyperlinkCtrl()
        self.PostCreate(p)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_WINDOW_CREATE, self.OnCreate)

    def OnCreate(self, evt):
        self.Unbind(wx.EVT_WINDOW_CREATE)
        self.NormalColour = wx.Color(0, 90, 255)
        self.HoverColour = wx.Color(0, 90, 255)
        self.VisitedColour = wx.Color(0, 90, 255)

But, it is strage that the HyperlinkCtrl still shows up with default
color. Therefore I am sure something has been done after OnCreate and
overwrite my color setting. Why? In my opinion, XRC loader setup
control settings in Pre...Post section or even after __init__, but
there should be nothing after OnCreate.
My workaround is binding EVT_PAINT instead of EVT_WINDOW_CREATE:

    def OnCreate(self, evt):
        self.Unbind(wx.EVT_PAINT)
        self.NormalColour = wx.Color(0, 90, 255)
        self.HoverColour = wx.Color(0, 90, 255)
        self.VisitedColour = wx.Color(0, 90, 255)
        evt.Skip()
        #Ok, no problem now.

^_^ Well, my question is why previous solution does not work.
