Is it allowed to Refresh() wxWindow from OnPaintEvent another brother wxWindow?

[Black Jack]

Hello wx-users

I have wxScrolledWindow that have two wxWindows children.

I'd like to know is it allowed to Refresh() wxWindow from OnPaintEvent another brother wxWindow?

Here is my code, it works OK.

void firstWxWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
{
    wxPaintDC dc(this);
    //here goes any code
   
    // here is statment I'd like to know is it allowed to do so?
    anotherWxWindow->Refresh();
}

Won't this create any problems?

Thanks in advance.

It's not exactly disallowed, but it's definitely strange and unusual
because paint events may happen for many different reasons and it's not
clear at all why repainting one window should result in repainting another
one.

The usual situation is that both windows display some data (or something
using some data) and in this case they should be both refreshed when this
data changes.
