// NB: This is an experimental and, as for now, undocumented class used only by
//     wxWidgets itself internally. Don't use it in your code until its API is
//     officially stabilized unless you are ready to change it with the next
//     wxWidgets release.

// FIXME-VC6: This compiler can't compile DoSetForAllParts() template function,
// it can't determine whether the deduced type should be "T" or "const T&". And
// 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.

    //     so we work around this by calling the method of this object itself
    //     manually in each function.
