Automatic Creation

When automatic creation is enabled for a child interface object before its parent is created, the child is automatically created at the same time the parent is created.

This is true for all the parent object's children.

To explicitly exclude a child window from the automatic create-and-show mechanism, call the DisableAutoCreate member function in the child object's constructor. To explicitly add a child window (such as a dialog box, which would normally be excluded) to the automatic create-and-show mechanism, call the EnableAutoCreate member function in the child object's constructor.

By default automatic creation is enabled for all ObjectWindows classes except dialog boxes.
