Serves me right for not reading the MSW documentation accurately.
Yes, limiting recursion would be good here. The only issue that
because of the way wxWidgets does things, one might have a different
window depth on wxWidgets than plain MFC. I will add some sort of
an option to control the depth of search (i.e. allow a depth of
1 which is what wxWidgets does).

OK, that's different too, because all windows are ignored if hidden.

I think that bits OK, don't you?

Yes they are important points. If you can verify this addresses your
concerns, I will fix it. But it will be tomorrow as I have to go eat.
