Why is EnumChildWindows skipping children?

Question

Doh! I discovered the errors of my ways. The reason why I was only getting half of the children was due to the fact I was not waiting long enough for the window to initially load and create ALL of the children within it, therefore I was only getting the first half that it created at the time I was calling my function to obtain all child windows. So I added a line of code to sleep before calling EnumChildWindows().

"Windows does not call the callback function for any child windows created after EnumChildWindows is called but before it returns." - Source

The above quoted piece of information is what turned the light-bulb on in my head.
