wxPython - drawing without paint event

I've got a wxPython program that needs to do some drawing on a DC on a
regular basis, whether or not a paint event happens. I know how to
make a ClientDC to do the drawing in, and I know what drawing calls to
make. But how do I make it all happen? After I call MainLoop, none of
my code gets called unless there is an event. And there is no event,
so my code doesn't get called. What do I do?

Outdated to a certain limit. It's quite a bit more recent than those
many tutorials around still today using
"from wxpython.wx import *".
As with all programming, if you don't practice, you won't learn.
True.

I guess I haven't looked up any wxPython tutorials. I typically use a
combination of the wxPython wiki, the demo and the WIA book for my
work.

Me too (except the mailing list, occasionally), and it works quite
well.

Currently, the paint even will only acknowledge painting going on inside of the ClipRectangle, any of the drawing that is outside of the ClipRectangle is ignored. How can I get the paint event to redraw Everything?

I know there is a way to do this, but I don't know how. Via a custom event? I have some code that I only want to run during a paint event. I could build a form instance that has the code and inherit it in all my other forms, but a simple event link? if that is the right term would be easier? Thx.

Hai, I use a paintbox paint event to draw some images in a paintbox. I call the paint event by refreshing the paintbox using paintboxname.refresh() or paintboxname.update(). Problem with this kind of paint event is that the event is not raised when the application is run in a minimized state. So, my question is: How can you make sure that the paint event is called even when the application is running in the minimized state.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
