I've noticed this before also (I have no idea why it's this way). What
I did was use wx.Window.GetUpdateRegion() instead:
rgn = self.GetUpdateRegion()
box = rgn.GetBox()
And if you want to update the whole window on a resize then call
self.Refresh() in an EVT_SIZE handler.

Subject: [wxPython-users] Can't clear Clipping region in PaintDC
Hi all,
I really thought that I "got" wx.DCs, but this one has me stumped. I'm
hoping I'm missing something obvious.
it appears that the wx.PaintDC is setting a clipping region, and only
drawing to the new part of the Windows on re-size. However, when I call:
dc.GetClippingBox()
IU get (0,0,0,0)
and calling:
dc.DestroyClippingRegion()
seems to have no effect. What am I missing?
Python 2.4.3, wxPython 2.6.3.3, wxGTK unicode on Fedora core 4.
sample enclosed -- try resizing the frame, and see what happens -- I
want a single rectangle with a gradient of color.
Thanks,
-Chris
