Changes the dialog's colour to conform to the current settings (Windows only).
Add an event table entry for your dialog class if you wish the behaviour
to be different (such as keeping a user-defined
-background colour). If you do override this function, call \helpref{wxWindow::OnSysColourChanged}{wxwindowonsyscolourchanged} to
+background colour). If you do override this function, call wxEvent::Skip to
propagate the notification to child windows and controls.
