You'll need to draw the bitmaps yourself directly on the scrolled window. The overlay uses the wx.ClientDC you give it, and so it is only able to draw on the scrolledwindow itself, and that is clipped by the child widgets.

I have a scrolled window and a grid of static bitmaps. I wanted to

For some reason, the overlay doesn't draw completely, or is being
drawn behind the bitmaps. I've attached a screen shot of the problem.
Is there a way to force the overlay to the top of everything?
So I have to draw the bitmaps in a DC as well, instead of as
StaticBitmaps?

Yes, if you want the overlay to appear to be drawing over the bitmaps then they all need to be in the same DC, or in other words, drawn on the same window. wx.Overlay doesn't provide any magic for drawing over the top of other windows.
