Looks good. I was not aware of the issue around ActiveX controls (I've
never used one).

Sorry, I don't see the event mechanism in GWindows as very compelling.
It is nowhere near as powerful as the event mechanism in Gtk. It has
no marshalling of parameters, and only one handler per event. In fact,
I don't see how it is better than the inheritance overloading mechanism.
