/**
    @class wxPageSetupDialog
    @wxheader{printdlg.h}

    This class represents the page setup common dialog. In MSW, the page setup
    dialog is standard from Windows 95 on, replacing the print setup dialog (which
    is retained in Windows and wxWidgets for backward compatibility).
    On Windows 95 and NT 4.0 and above, the page setup dialog is native to the windowing
    system, otherwise it is emulated.

    The page setup dialog contains controls for paper size (A4, A5 etc.),
    orientation (landscape or portrait), and controls for setting left, top, right
    and bottom margin sizes in millimetres.

    On Macintosh, the native page setup dialog is used, which lets you select paper
    size and orientation but it does not let you change the page margins.

    On other platforms, a generic dialog is used.

    When the dialog has been closed, you need to query the wxPageSetupDialogData
    object associated with the dialog.

    Note that the OK and Cancel buttons do not destroy the dialog; this must be done
    by the application.
