from the wx docs:

"""
wxWindow::Refresh

Causes this window, and all of its children recursively (except under 
wxGTK1 where this is not implemented), to be repainted. Note that 
repainting doesn't happen immediately but only during the next event 
loop iteration, if you need to update the window immediately you should 
use Update instead.
"""

and:

"""
wxWindow::Update

  Calling this method immediately repaints the invalidated area of the 
window and all of its children recursively while this would usually only 
happen when the flow of control returns to the event loop. Notice that 
this function doesn't refresh the window and does nothing if the window 
hadn't been already repainted. Use Refresh first if you want to 
immediately redraw the window unconditionally.
