+// It is needed because in some circumstances it can happen that more than one
+// wxPaintDC is created for the same window during its WM_PAINT handling (and
+// as this can happen implicitly, e.g. by calling a function in some library,
+// this can be quite difficult to find) but we need to reuse the same HDC for
+// all of them because we can't call BeginPaint() more than once. So we cache
+// the first HDC created for the window in this map and then reuse it later if
+// needed. And, of course, remove it from the map when the painting is done.
