This is one of the steps, due the limitation of have one wxDC at time drawing on a Window.
The current code draws the message on the msgpanel.cpp at each call of Affiche_1_Parametre method; this requires the creation and use of an additionalwxDC not 
allowable for example during a load of an *.brd file.

The patch avoids painting during the call of the Affiche_1_Parametre and defers it to the 
OnPaint event.

I've used many if[n]def to preserve the current behaviour on the other platforms than Mac, 
that could appreciate to see changes in real-time.
