NAME

       wxEraseEvent - Functions for wxEraseEvent class

DESCRIPTION

       An erase event is sent when a window's background needs to be repainted.

       On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just before the
       paint event) and may cause flicker. It is therefore recommended  that  you  set  the  text
       background  colour  explicitly  in order to prevent flicker. The default background colour
       under GTK+ is grey.

       To intercept this event, use the EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND macro in an event table definition.

       You must use the device context returned by getDC/1 to draw on, don't create  a  wxPaintDC
       in the event handler.

       See: Overview events

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxEvent

       wxWidgets docs: wxEraseEvent

EVENTS

       Use wxEvtHandler:connect/3 with wxEraseEventType to subscribe to events of this type.

DATA TYPES

       wxEraseEvent() = wx:wx_object()

       wxErase() =
           #wxErase{type = wxEraseEvent:wxEraseEventType(),
                    dc = wxDC:wxDC()}

       wxEraseEventType() = erase_background

EXPORTS

       getDC(This) -> wxDC:wxDC()

              Types:

                 This = wxEraseEvent()

              Returns the device context associated with the erase event to draw on.
