If the handle property has a non zero value, the destructor of this class will release the context reference.
If you create this in a method based on a window, please release it within that method. e.g. in a paint event, create it and let RB delete the last reference on the end of the method. Else you may see crashes as the context is still being around while the graphics port has been released.
