Re: XRC Sub-Classing Questions

Hello,

Sorry for the slow response... I'm gonna be running a marathon this
weekend (my first), and have been just a little preoccupied... :-)

The default constructor is called.  After that, I believe that XRC calls
wxWindow::Create to construct the window.  This method is not virtual,
so I'm not 100% sure how it's supposed to be propagated to the subclass.

This may involve making the C# side virtual for _every_ widget that
derives from wxWindow.  I'll look into this.

This would be handled from Create.

If it's in a wx.Sizer, usually just calling Fit() on the enclosing
window, or the sizer should do it.  Or am I miss-interpreting?
