I would like to fill a wxSF shape with a gradient, but I am not sure of the best way of doing this.

Override the DrawNormal, DrawHover and DrawHighlighted methods

or

Somehow get the graphics context and create a gradient fill brush, presumably this will only work when EnableDC is true

If anyone has any suggestions they would be warmly appreciated

Gradient fill for non-rectangle shapes is allowed when enhanced graphics (wxGraphicsContext) is used only. Basic rectangles can be filled with a gradinet even in classic drawing mode. In both cases, overriding of virtual methods responsible for shape's drawing (as you mentioned above) is recommended way.
