MDI bugs & Misc

Before I start, I'd like to say I find it too bad there is no real MDI
support under Linux. MDI is still usefull in case you want to monitor
multiple windows at once but don't want to flood your desktop.

All this is under Windows XP.

I had a EVT_UPDATE_UI event that called GetActiveChild() to enable or
disable a Close menu item. That works fine with a single MDI child, but if
you try to open another, it crashes.

Also, even though the sample seems to work fine for that, I can't seem to
get EVT_CLOSE when pressing the X button of MDI children. I am doing
something wrong? And you are probably aware of crash happening when closing
any window.

I noticed that the Windows 0.5 wx-c.dll is larger by a megabyte than the one
that came with 0.4. What caused such a change in size? From what I
understand, The wx-c.dll is a native C++ library linked staticly with the
wxWindows library, which is in turn a wrapper for MFC on windows. It gets
that big?

Anyway, so far I'm enjoying this tool kit. It looks better than Winforms,
and is cross-platform. I want to thanks the developpers and hope they can
continue extending it.

Thanks,

Etienne Boucher
