I'm pretty sure it's not possible. As wx wraps the native widgets, they 
are drawing themselves to the native screen -- you can't intercept that 
process.

I think the only option is to blit from a clientDC or WindowDC, but, as 
you've found, what that gives you is exactly what's on the screen, which 
apparently isn't good enough for your needs. Darn.
