I usually create child windows (with visible bit set) in the WM_CREATE
message of my Client window (yes,  this is before the client has a size),
and then adjust the size for each WM_SIZE message the client receives
(including the first one, right after creation).

Since the child windows (regardless of visibility bit) will be invisible
until the parent is made visible,  all my windows appear at once when I
call WinShowWindow() for the frame.
