ClientDC

A ClientDC must be constructed if an application wishes to paint on the client area of a window from outside an EVT_PAINT() handler.

This should normally be constructed as a temporary stack object; don’t store a ClientDC object.

To draw on a window from within an EVT_PAINT() handler, construct a PaintDC object instead.

To draw on the whole window including decorations, construct a WindowDC object (Windows only).

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