+Canvas is used in the Paint method to perform drawing operations which render 
+the control. The handle for the Canvas may be temporarily updated in the 
+PaintWindow method to use a specified device context. In this case, the canvas 
+handle is reset to an unassigned value after the Paint method is called to 
+render the control.
