OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use wxBitmapButton when we want to show an image on a button. We can also show text along with the image, in which case we can set the text alignment. The code below uses 3 images which are toggled on the same button every time it is clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAMPLE CODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n#include "bitmapbutton.h"\n\n\nBitmapButton::BitmapButton(const wxString &title):\n\n    wxFrame(NULL, -1, title, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(500,200)) {\n \n    wxPanel *panel = new wxPanel(this, -1);    \n    wxBoxSizer *vbox = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);\n    panel->SetSizer(vbox);\n\n    mBtn = new wxBitmapButton(panel, -1, wxBitmap(wxT("1.png"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG), wxDefaultPosition);\n\n    vbox->Add(mBtn, 1, wxEXPAND);\n    mCurrImage = 0;\n\n    mBtn->Bind(wxEVT_BUTTON, &BitmapButton::onClick, this);\n    Center();\n\n}\n\nvoid BitmapButton::onClick(wxCommandEvent &event) {\n\tmCurrImage ++;\n\tif (mCurrImage > 2)\n\t\tmCurrImage = 0;\n\tif (mCurrImage == 0)\n\t\tmBtn->SetBitmapLabel(wxBitmap(wxT("1.png"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG));\n\telse if (mCurrImage == 1)\n\t\tmBtn->SetBitmapLabel(wxBitmap(wxT("2.png"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG));\n\telse if (mCurrImage == 2)\n\t\tmBtn->SetBitmapLabel(wxBitmap(wxT("3.png"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG));\n\n}\n\n\n\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
main.h<\/pre>\n\n\n
\n#include <wx\/wxprec.h>\n#ifndef WX_PRECOMP\n    #include <wx\/wx.h>\n#endif\n\nclass Main: public wxApp {\n\n\tpublic:\n\t        virtual bool OnInit();\n};\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
