Re: Dialog colon standardization

 

I also noticed that the Apple guidelines suggest not putting colons on sections.  Perhaps most platforms inform screen readers that a section label is a section?  (Anyone know if wxWidgets has screen-reader-helper code?)

However, most dialogs had one or more internal discrepancy, meaning that most dialogs got an update with wxFormBuilder.  I broke out the commits to make reversing easier if they end up looking wonky on Mac/Windows.  But this means there were quite a few commits in the series.
