wx.wxSYS_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT (a number IIRC) is meant for wxSystemSettings.
local c =3D wx.wxSystemSettings.GetColour(wx.wxSYS_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT)
-- the above errors out since there's no constuctor for wxSystemSettings...
print("%d %d %d", c.Red(), c.Green(), c.Blue())

I think it's impossible to get at them since static methods aren't
handled properly. They need to be added to the wrappers as "LuaGlobal"
with a name of something like "wxSystemSettings_GetColour".

I'm sorry that we're deadlocked currently, I can't work on or test
this until we get a working wrapper system. Maybe another week or so.

local popMenu =3D wx.wxMenu()
-- add normal menu items
-- to position the menu for a button use local rect =3D
mybutton.GetRect() to find the bottom left.
mywindow.PopupMenuXY(popMenu, mouseEvt.GetX(), mouseEvt.GetY())
