    // without this function wxCompositeWindow is pretty useless so simply disable
    // this code for it, this does mean that setting colours/fonts/... for
    // composite controls won't work in the library compiled with it but so far
    // this only affects the generic wxDatePickerCtrl which is not used by default
    // under MSW anyhow so it doesn't seem to be worth it to spend time and uglify
    // the code to fix it.

    // window parts.

    //     into DoSetForAllParts() because we can't call the function passed to
    //     it non-virtually and we need to do this to avoid infinite recursion,
    //     so we work around this by calling the method of this object itself
    //     manually in each function.
