// For Windows, Microsoft just hands you a list of preferred control sizes as part of the MSDN documentation and tells you to roll with it.
// These sizes are given in "dialog units", which are independent of the font in use.
// We need to convert these into standard pixels, which requires we get the device context of the OS window.

// For push buttons, date/time pickers, links (which we don't use), toolbars, and rebars (another type of toolbar), Common Controls version 6 provides convenient methods to use instead, falling back to the old way if it fails.
