I've started working on the Splitter control and now I have a few 
questions regarding underlaying MWF implementation:

1) Do I have to implement properties that just pass their values to the 
underliying Control object, like BackgroundImage, Dock, Anchor, etc.? I 
saw that Label and StatusBar implement those properties but I don't know 
why.

2) When I implement themeing methods for drawing the Splitter in Theme, 
ThemeGtk and ThemeWin32Classic classes how should I acceess properties 
like BackgroundImage and ForeColor from within those classes? Should I 
just disregard them?

3) What methods should I add to themeing classes for drawing the Splitter?

Cheers,
