/**
   A helper class making it possible to use system theme for any control.

   Under MSW, there an alternative theme available for the list and list-like
   controls since Windows Vista. This theme us used by Windows Explorer list
   and tree view and so is arguably more familiar to the users than the standard
   appearance of these controls.

   This class is used in wxWidgets to enable this system theme in wxTreeCtrl,
   wxListCtrl and wxDataViewCtrl and thus give them the same, familiar look.
   It can also be used as a helper for implementing custom controls with the same
   appearance. Notice that when using this class it is especially important
   to use wxRendererNative::DrawItemSelectionRect() and
   wxRendererNative::DrawItemText() to draw the control items to ensure that
   they appear correctly under all platforms and Windows versions.

   The following example shows implementation of a system theme enabled wxVListBox:
   @code
        #include <wx/systhemectrl.h>

        class MyListCtrl : public wxSystemThemedControl<wxVListBox>
        {
        public:
            MyListCtrl(wxWindow* parent)
            {

                ...

                EnableSystemTheme();
            }

            void OnDrawItem(wxDC& dc, const wxRect& rect, size_t n) const wxOVERRIDE
            {
                wxRendererNative::GetDefault().DrawItemText(this, dc, "Item #x", rect);
            }
        };
   @endcode

   On non-MSW platforms this class currently does nothing but is still
   available, so that it can be used in portable code without any conditional
   compilation directives.
