+\item {\bf Focus.} In the wxPropertySheetDialog demo on Smartphone, it's not possible to navigate

 \item {\bf OK button.} We should allow the OK button on a dialog to be optional, perhaps
 by using wxCLOSE\_BOX to indicate when the OK button should be displayed.
 \item {\bf Dynamic adaptation.} We should probably be using run-time tests more
 than preprocessor tests, so that the same WinCE application can run on different
 versions of the operating system.
