How to convert into Bitmap from wxTextCtrl(Entire)

You probably can not capture all the wxTextCtrl canva because, it probably dont store it completly.

IMHO, the wxTextCtrl (and all its specific implementation) use a local drawing function so if you want to draw it, you must paint it yourself based on the wxTextCtrl text-style infos.

That particular drawing function would be deep in the native widgets implementation then. E.g, gtk_textview_expose or similar for wxGTK. In other words, kind of a no go if you can't stretch the width somehow.
