wxMetaFileDC is-a wxDC

A metafile device context is used for creating a metafile. The programmer should create the metafile device context, close it to return a metafile, delete the device context, use the metafile (the only valid thing to do with it currently is to place it on the clipboard, and then delete the metafile.

These functions are only available under Windows.
