wxWindowDC(3)

✨ NAME ✨

wxWindowDC — bestie, this is the Erlang module for a DC you gotta construct when your app wants to paint on the whole entire area of a window 💅 — that's the client area and the decorations, no cap.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so listen. This thing should normally be constructed as a temporary stack object — like, build it, use it, let it go. Do not store a wxWindowDC object anywhere. It's giving "here for a good time not a long time" 🦋

Now, which DC are you actually supposed to reach for? Depends on the vibe:

• Drawing on a window from inside an EVT_PAINT() handler? That's not it, queen — construct a wxPaintDC object instead. 👑
• Drawing on the client area of a window from outside an EVT_PAINT() handler? Also not this one — construct a wxClientDC object instead. ✨

A wxWindowDC object is initialized to use the same font and colours as the window it's associated with. Matching energy, fr fr. 🎀
