wxListBook issues with ImageList and SetPageImage

[kshitij_ds]

Hi,
In my application i am doing this:

1) Creating a wxListBook
2) Calling AddPage on wxListBook to add few pages
3) Create a wxImageList with size 32x32
4) Call SetImageList of wxListBook
5) Assign image to each note book page using SetPageImage(...)

I even stepped through my and wxWidgets code to verify that images are getting assigned and that SetPageImage(...) and SetImageList return TRUE.

However, i am not able to see any images assigned to my pages.

Here is sample code:

Code: Select all

m_cNoteBook = new wxListbook( itemueDialog1, ID_NOTEBOOK, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxBK_TOP );
 m_cNoteBook->AddPage(itemPanel1, _("First Page"));
 m_cNoteBook->AddPage(itemPanel2, _("Second Page")); 
 m_cNoteBook->AddPage(itemPanel3, _("Third Page"));

  prefImageList_.Create(32, 32);
  for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
  {
    prefImageList_.Add(wxBitmap(...)); //Here i add images to the imagelist
  }
  m_cNoteBook->SetImageList(&prefImageList_);
  
  for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
  {
    m_cNoteBook->SetPageImage(i,i);
  }

Hi,
is the prefImageList_ local variable? wxListBook doesn't save own copy of the wxImageList, it just save the pointer.
Try this:

Code: Select all

wxImageList* prefImageList_;
...
  prefImageList_ = new wxImageList(32, 32);
  for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
  {
    prefImageList_->Add(wxBitmap(...)); //Here i add images to the imagelist
  }
  m_cNoteBook->AssignImageList(prefImageList_);
...

no, its a private variable in my wxDialog class.
Don't worry i figured it out...
The issue here was that the wxImageList was required to be created before the wxListBook was created and then assign the image list to the list book ctrl.
I was basically creating the image list after creating the notebook control and later assigning page images.
Though IMO that should have worked as well, but unfortunately it does not . I did debug into wxWidgets code and saw that the images were being assinged.


Anyways, my other question was that when you click on an icon in wxListBook only the bottom text is selected. I would like to select the icon as well. The functionality is similar to the Preferences dialog in Xcode.
