# wxWindowDC (wx v2.5.4)

Copy Markdown View Source

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.

See:

- `wxDC`

- `wxMemoryDC`

- `wxPaintDC`

- `wxClientDC`

- `wxScreenDC`

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

- `wxDC`
