wxWindowDC

A wxWindowDC must be constructed if an application wishes to paint on the whole area of a window (client and decorations). This should normally be constructed as a temporary stack object; don't store a wxWindowDC object.

To draw on a window from inside OnPaint, construct a wxPaintDC object.

To draw on the client area of a window from outside OnPaint, construct a wxClientDC object.

To draw on the whole window including decorations, construct a wxWindowDC object (Windows only).
