you can use wxWidget wxGlCanavs which controls the render method



Code:
#include "wxglcanvassubclass.h"

#include <osg/Node>
#include <osg/Group>
#include <osg/Geode>
#include <osg/Geometry>
#include <osg/Texture2D>
#include <osgDB/ReadFile> 
#include <osgProducer/Viewer>
#include <osg/PositionAttitudeTransform>
#include <osgGA/TrackballManipulator>

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxGLCanvasSubClass, wxGLCanvas)
    EVT_PAINT    (wxGLCanvasSubClass::Paintit)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
 
wxGLCanvasSubClass::wxGLCanvasSubClass(wxFrame *parent)
:wxGLCanvas(parent, wxID_ANY,  wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0, wxT("GLCanvas")){
	osg::setNotifyLevel(osg::ALWAYS);
	viewer.setUpViewer(osgProducer::Viewer::STANDARD_SETTINGS);
	viewer.getCullSettings().setComputeNearFarMode(osg::CullSettings::DO_NOT_COMPUTE_NEAR_FAR);
	float  cx = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);
	cx/=10;
    float cy = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);
	cy/=10;
	int width = cx * 5.5;
	int height = cy * 6;
	int xPos = cx;
	int yPos = cy * 2.7;
	viewer.getCamera(0)->getRenderSurface()->setWindowRectangle(xPos,yPos,width,height);
	#ifndef __linux
		viewer.getCamera(0)->getRenderSurface()->fullScreen(false);
	#endif
	osg::Group* foregroundGroup	= new osg::Group();
	osg::Node*	modelNode = osgDB::readNodeFile("H2SO4.3DS");
	foregroundGroup->addChild(modelNode);
	foregroundGroup->getOrCreateStateSet()->setMode(GL_LIGHT_MODEL_AMBIENT, osg::StateAttribute::OFF);
	osg::ref_ptr<osg::Group> root = new osg::Group;
	root->addChild(foregroundGroup);
	viewer.setSceneData(root.get());
	viewer.realize();
}
 
 
void wxGLCanvasSubClass::Paintit(wxPaintEvent& WXUNUSED(event)){
    Render();
}
 
void wxGLCanvasSubClass::Render()
{
    SetCurrent();
    wxPaintDC(this);
	viewer.sync();	
    viewer.update();
    viewer.frame();
}




that is it in the constructor you init the osg defaults
and in the render method put the code in the while(!viewer.done) loop in
osg 
after that all you need is new wxGLCanvasSubClass(this); in the 
wxFrame child class in your app
