but wxActivateEvent is a toplevel window concept, isn't it ? it is also
triggered on mac, but on mac also most native controls look different if
their toplevel window is activated or not, not only the focused control.

That's why they all get a native activate/deactivate event, and this is
something I didn't wire neither to a wx event, nor to a callback, IMHO just
having a bool where you'd indicate whether you want to be refreshed in this
situation would probably be a clean and simple solution, as this never is
about behaviour, only about appearance.

Best,

Stefan
