Yes, I've tried creating even a dummy wxPaintDC, but it still won't
stop sending messages to the frame.  Should each subwindow have its own
class and therefore its own OnPaint handler?  Right now I'm letting the
frame handle the message and then draw on the subwindows directly.
Perhaps this is causing them to generate a new paint message, but since
there is no subwindow handler it goes right back to the Frame?
