Sounds like a very cool project.

wx.NET does not have a method for this at the moment, since it really
hasn't been necessary yet.

You would need to implement the wrapper for wxWindow::GetHandle(), which
returns the platform-specific pointer to the window (HWND on Win32,
GtkWidget on GTK, etc.).

You should be able to pass this IntPtr to System.Drawing, and go from
there.  I've never played with this, so there may be a few more details
left for you to implement :-).

The other wx.NET developers and myself are pretty limited on time these
days, but I'll do my best to answer any other questions that come up.


Cheers.
