I think, wxBitmapButton is not enough. If I use it, there are still the borders of the Button. For example, if I like to have a circle as a button, I have drawn the circle as a png file. The user should only be possible to click on the circle, nowhere else to activate the event. It looks like in th...

for example, a round button.. I am using normal wxWidgets.. I don't know if a rounded button implementation exists in wxWidgets, but you can always switch to wxPython: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/eng/freeware.html#shapedbutton :-D :-D Anyway, it's not that complicated to build your own button...

Im calling the drawing function from within a wxTimer class, which is why I can't use the wxPaintDC event. What can i do? Should I call the ClientDC from within an OnPaint event too to have it redraw? When I call it from within there in addition to calling it normally, it doesn't do anyhting at all...

I can't get a CustomTreeCtrl node using a panel with child elements using a BoxSizer to display correctly. What happens is that the panel draws as a 16x16 grey grid and no child elements draw on the panel. This has very little to do with wxWidgets, as CustomTreeCtrl is a pure Python control. I am t...

Hi tierra, thank you for your answer. Actually, the patch was on the wxAUI forum, initially implemented by astigsen and modified by vexator: http://www.kirix.com/community/forums/viewtopic.php?t=77 And then Joel added the correct buttons states and fixed few bugs that appeared in the aforementioned ...

Hi All, sorry for my extreme ignorance in C++, I am just an amateur wxPython coder. I remember seeing an implementation of ModernDockArt (that used wxUxTheme) made by astigsen and modified by Joel, but I am unable to find it again on the web. I was interested in the final version from Joel as it see...

Hi Jimmy, bmp = wx.Image("images\\new24.bmp", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP).ConvertToBitmap() You don't need to use wx.Image and then ConvertToBitmap. Just use wx.Bitmap() as you do it in wxWidgets. self.fileNewItem = fileMenu.Append(-1, "New ...", "Create new image") self.fileNe...

self.YourComponent = new YourComponent(YourCompent's comma separated parameter list);

It's curious to see this mix between Python (when you use "self") and wxWidgets

So, to put it short: No, there is no easier method (such as wx4SplitterWindow) and you might like to consider sizers and wxAUI (advanced user interface). I'll get on this as I get other stuff before this. Just curious. Anyways, I think I'll check out wxSizerPane and wxAUI as I get to set up edit wi...

Is there a generic horozontal and vertical ruler available or a window that has a generic rulers on the sides? I've searched for one, but have been unsuccessful. I don't know about wxWidgets, but there surely is one for wxPython: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/eng/freeware.html#rulerctrl :lol:

Maybe got to do with me using the wxmsw projects in the pre 2.8 versions, where in the 2.80 I couldn't find anything like this anymore and had to use base/core libs which added roughly 300kB to my dll files (which is extreme, considering I use the same precompiler settings where possible). But yeah...

Hi Jorgen, No I don't think so. I really envy the wxPython guys for such great controls. I gues it is all so much simpler to write extra classes in wxPython, because you have a low threshold of distributing / using and making it cross platform. One of the great things about being able to "insta...

Hi Mixeh,

the only solution that I know of is ThumbnailCtrl, in the wxVillaLib library:

http://wxvillalib.sourceforge.net/

You may want to look at ThumbnailCtrl in that library.

HTH.

Hello NG, First of all, I apologize to be so ignorant in wxWidgets things. I am looking at the source code of wxScrolledWindow in the *generic* implementation. This window intercepts char events, obviously. Let's suppose I hit the page down char on my keyboard, and this is what the code actually doe...
