        Override to paint an image in front of the property value text or
        drop-down list item (but only if wxPGProperty::OnMeasureImage is
        overridden as well).

        If property's OnMeasureImage() returns size that has height != 0 but
        less than row height ( < 0 has special meanings), wxPropertyGrid calls
        this method to draw a custom image in a limited area in front of the
        editor control or value text/graphics, and if control has drop-down
        list, then the image is drawn there as well (even in the case
        OnMeasureImage() returned higher height than row height).

        NOTE: Following applies when OnMeasureImage() returns a "flexible"
        height ( using wxPG_FLEXIBLE_SIZE(W,H) macro), which implies variable
        height items: If rect.x is < 0, then this is a measure item call, which
        means that dc is invalid and only thing that should be done is to set
        paintdata.m_drawnHeight to the height of the image of item at index
        paintdata.m_choiceItem. This call may be done even as often as once
        every drop-down popup show.

        @param dc

        @param rect
            Box reserved for custom graphics. Includes surrounding rectangle,
            if any. If x is < 0, then this is a measure item call (see above).
        @param paintdata
            wxPGPaintData structure with much useful data.

        @remarks
            - You can actually exceed rect width, but if you do so then
              paintdata.m_drawnWidth must be set to the full width drawn in
              pixels.
            - Due to technical reasons, rect's height will be default even if
              custom height was reported during measure call.
            - Brush is guaranteed to be default background colour. It has been
              already used to clear the background of area being painted. It
              can be modified.
            - Pen is guaranteed to be 1-wide 'black' (or whatever is the proper
              colour) pen for drawing framing rectangle. It can be changed as
              well.
