Is it reproducible in the toolbar sample?

Thank you.

the codes are not from wxWidgets toolbar sample.
this toolbar is just as an embeded controls into a ribbon panel.

I created a vertical sytle wxToolbar(wxTB_VERTICAL | wxTB_FLAT | wxTB_NODIVIDER | wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT | wxTB_TEXT). The upper toolbutton is a normal button. The lower toolbutton is a button with dropdown menu. Both of buttons have the same icon(16x16). As you see, they are not left-alignment. How could...

Hi, I am developing a dark "skinned" application with buttons, check boxes, ... each derived form wxPanel or wxWindow. Everything works fine but when the application starts and the main frame is displayed, all the skinned objects flash once (it's very fast) as white rectangles just before...

Anyway, I still think it is strange there is no member function to set font for label of individual toolbutton.

ONEEYEMAN wrote:Hi,
What if you try to add control to toolbar and use wxBitmapButton?

Thank you.

it's good idea, but how can I let wxButton as flat style just looks like toolbutton on wxToolBar?

I thought out a trick way to show different(bold) font on a toolbutton. That's render icon and bold font label into a bitmap together, then set this rendered bitmap as the bitmap of this toolbutton. There are two difficult obstacles to me. 1. each of label has different length(but the lenght of stri...

Is it possible to cancel/kill the mouse dragging status when do dragging on not be draggable toolbutotn?

int wxItemid = base->GetId(); You have identified the toolbutton here. If it's a button that should not be draggable, just do nothing. BTW: You should call event.Skip() if you don't start a dragging operation, so that the default event handling takes place. event.Skip() works, but the toolbutton th...

If some of toolbuttons couldn't do drag on wxToolBar, how to cancel the dragging? I'm not 100% sure i understand what you mean. Can you use wxToolBar::FindToolForPosition() to identify the tool you clicked on? I bind event like this: wxToolBar * PToolbar = new wxToolBar (...) PToolbar->Bind(wxEVT_M...

I tried dragging operation on toolbutton, it would not trigger single clicking event on this toolbutton. It will not trigger a dedicated drag event, but if you catch generic mouse events and check wxMouseEvent::Dragging() it should be possible to start a drag operation from there. Hi doublemax, If ...

As wxToolBar derives from wxWindow, it should work as a drop target (wxWindow::SetDropTarget). Then you could use wxToolBar::FindToolForPosition() to find the button where the drop happened. But i can't think of any way to start a drag from a toolbar button if a click on that button should also wor...

Hi, All,

I'd like to do drag&drap on toolbutton. I want to drag a toolbutton and drop it to other window.
Can I do this? I checked document, it seems there is no drag&drop message event for wxToolBar.
Thanks!

Not sure is it really can to be done. What about method GetControl/1 ? Something like m_toolBar->FindControl(toolid)->SetFont(ft); but with all necessary checkings(on NULL). Though maybe it will work only for controls that was added via AddControl . Yes, you are right. it will work only for control...

Hi, Are you trying it for the button or some other control? Maybe you can cast it to the button and set the font this way? Something like this: wxToolBarToolBase * toolbutton = toolbar->FindById(toolid); assert(toolbutton != NULL); if( toolbutton.IsButton() ) { wxButton *button = (wxButton *) toolb...
