For a similar question please see the post [“Attach A GLFWwindow To Windows Window Client Area?”](http://discourse.glfw.org/t/attach-a-glfwwindow-to-windows-window-client-area/882) and the related [GLFW issue on creating a context for an open window](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/25).

Are you sure you want to use GLFW though, or do you just want to use OpenGL with wxWidgets? WxWidgets has [wxGLCanvas](http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/classwx_g_l_canvas.html) which can be used for OpenGL rendering.
