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 an EVT_PAINT() handler, construct a wxPaintDC object instead.

To draw on the client area of a window from outside an EVT_PAINT() handler, construct a wxClientDC object.

A wxWindowDC object is initialized to use the same font and colours as the window it is associated with.
