wxMSW: Themed borders?

Currently the generic wxSearchCtrl is using wxBORDER_SIMPLE to have a 
single pixel border on wxMSW, but it is the default black one and 
doesn't match what is typically drawn by the themed wxTextCtrl on XP so 
it ends up looking out of place.  Is it possible, and would it make 
sense, to have a border style that emulates the default textctrl border 
on each platform?  Other controls tend to have this same border too so 
maybe the style should be something like wxBORDER_DEFAULT_CONTROL.

Or would it make more sense to put themed border styles in the native 
renderers and require the custom controls to draw the border themselves?
