NAME

6       wxPaintEvent - Functions for wxPaintEvent class

DESCRIPTION

9       A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
10
11       The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
12       painting the window contents. For example:
13
14       Notice that you must not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
15       wxWindowDC)  in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC out‐
16       side of this event handlers.
17
18       You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that  have  been
19       damaged  and  only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the
20       client area, and are unscrolled, so you will need to do  some  calcula‐
21       tions  using  the  current  view  position  to obtain logical, scrolled
22       units. Here is an example of using  the  wxRegionIterator  (not  imple‐
23       mented in wx) class:
24
25       Remark:  Please  notice  that in general it is impossible to change the
26       drawing of a standard control (such as wxButton) and so  you  shouldn't
27       attempt  to  handle  paint  events for them as even if it might work on
28       some platforms, this is inherently not portable and won't  work  every‐
29       where.
