12 A wxScreenDC can be used to paint on the screen. This should normally be
13 constructed as a temporary stack object; don't store a wxScreenDC object.

42 This version of StartDrawingOnTop() is used to specify that the area
43 that will be drawn on coincides with the given window. It is
44 recommended that an area of the screen is specified with
45 StartDrawingOnTop(wxRect*) because with large regions, flickering
46 effects are noticeable when destroying the temporary transparent window
47 used to implement this feature.

49 You might use this function when implementing a drag feature, for
50 example as in the wxSplitterWindow implementation.
