In case you hadn't thought of it, *other* controls besides windows can also
benefit from allowing their "style" parameter to be altered by the
programmer within the IDE; for instance, Ken Roger just let me know that you
can make a button have *multiple lines* by setting the button style to
BS_MULTILINE. Not sure which other controls could similarly benefit, though,
but I would suspect at least some others would.

If you're not talking about an actual *event*, but rather just something to
go into the event combo for selection to work in/on, how about
"InitialCode", or "InitSection" or "InitializingCode" or "FirstCode"?
In fact, if you wanted to get really "spiffy", you might even add *another*
section to always go at the *very* beginning, called "IntialComments", or
"ProgramTitleSection", or something like that. That might be a nice way to
help "modularize" the code? Could even make it put a "general"
(pre-commented) template for "Program Title", "Version #: ", "Program
Description", etc. into the Editor.
