Button with both bitmap and text label? Topic is solved

[theosib]

Another of my noob questions. I have been trying to search for this on google to no avail. Is there a way to have a button that has both a text label AND a bitmap/icon? I tried creating a wxBitmapButton and then using SetLabel, but all I saw was the bitmap.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think to do that create a dialog then place the wxBitmapButton on it. Then set the label of the dialog. Or do you want text on the button itself?

im working on the patch for it... I can't release it yet... but you can use Dave fileccia's first http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=309863

Meanwhile there are classes out in the wild, such as mmMultiButton from mmwx:

I recall that wxCode might have had something like that too, but not sure if that wasn't some other place...

Hi

When you don't need to change or query the label on runtime, just write the label you want into the bitmap until the patch is released .

It is extremely trivial to do it in GTK+. No idea about Mac.

Could you overload the paint event of the button class to draw the image first and then draw text? I think that would work.

It will not, unless you are dealing with a wxUniversal port (and then it might not work either), or are lucky on a certain port.
