Hi,
Is it possible to draw transparent rectangle and text in wxPanel?
I have tried using wxPaintDc in which drawn rectangle not displayed on screen,
using wxScreenDc rectangle is dispalyed without transparency.
Code: Select all
void Panel::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent &evt)
{
wxPaintDC dc(this);
wxGraphicsContext* gdc1 = wxGraphicsContext::Create(dc);
wxGCDC gdc2;
gdc2.SetGraphicsContext(gdc1);
wxDC &gdc = static_cast<wxDC&>(gdc2);
PrepareDC(gdc);
int w, h;
GetSize(&w, &h);
gdc.SetPen(*wxTRANSPARENT_PEN);
gdc.SetBrush(*wxRED);
wxRect rec = GetClientRect();
gdc.DrawRoundedRectangle(rec, 20);
gdc.SetTextForeground(wxColour(*wxGREEN));
gdc.SetFont(wxFontInfo(10).Family(wxFONTFAMILY_MAX).Bold());
gdc.DrawText("designer panel drawText", 50, 50);
}
Could you Suggest me how this can be drawn?
Thanks,
ranjani

It's unclear what result you want to achieve.
Is it possible to draw transparent rectangle and text in wxPanel?
Transparent on top of what?

I need to draw rectangle on top of wxControl(eg: wxButton) which will be on panel.
If Rectangle is drawn on top of control panel should be visible below that rectangle
thanks,

You can't draw on top of native controls as they are drawn by the OS and not inside wxWidgets using the "normal" wxPaintDC mechanism. And most controls in wxWidgets are native.
You could theoretically use wxWindowDC to draw onto the control, but there is no event that tells you when to redraw it.

It it doesn't have to be transparent, i'd use wxRichToolTip for that.
https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classw ... l_tip.html
Check the "dialogs" sample, under Dialogs -> Rich Tooltip dialog, to see how it looks like and what it can do.

The only way to do that would be with a separate wxFrame.
Then you could set a non-rectangular shape with wxNonOwnedWindow::SetShape
https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classw ... 0b55e89613
... and set the transparency with wxWindow::SetTransparent
https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classw ... 0f45a0656f
However, you can only set the transparency for the whole window, you can't have the background semi-transparent and the texton it opaque. You could fake that by grabbing the screencontent under the window with wxScreenDC and use that as a background for your window.

Hi,
I have used wxrichtool tip to display popup.
Now I am trying to use this in wxTreelistcontrol it will have list of tree item as their childrens.
So to pass as window,typecasted.But is getting crashed when tip.showFor() is executed.
Code: Select all
wxTreeItemId iId = pModeltree->GetTreeItem(iValue);
wxWindowList pWindowList = pModeltree->GetChildren();
wxWindow *pWindowTemp = NULL, *pWindowTemp1 = NULL,*pWindow=NULL;
wxRichToolTip tip("Tool Tip","Message");
for (int i = 0; i < icount; i++)
{
pWindowTemp = pWindowList[i];
if (pWindowTemp->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxTreeListCtrl)))
{
pWindowTemp = ((wxTreeListCtrl*)pWindowTemp);
pWindowTemp1 = ((wxTreeListCtrl*)pWindowTemp);
pWindow= (wxWindow*)((wxTreeListCtrl*)pWindowTemp1)->GetItemData(iId);
if (pWindow)
tip.ShowFor(pWindow);
break;
}
}
when treecontrol is passed as window richtool tip dislayed in center.
Is there any way to display richtooltip to wxtreeitem?
Thanks,
ranjani

Use wxTreeCtrl::GetBoundingRect to get the rectangle of the item. Pass the tree control itself and this rect to the Showfor() call.
