Looking for button with image

Post by ArtDen »

wxButton with bitmap looks ugly even for 3.0.0. The problem was described 4 years ago:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11477
and since were no changes.

So I look for component with wxButton functionality but with proper image placement.

Hi

Did you simply try to pass a bitmap to a wxButton ? (with wxWidgets-3.0, wxButton has support for wxBitmap).

I mean image for wxButton works but it looks ugly aligned:

So I'm trying to find component like wxButton but with proper image alignment.

No idea about existing component? May be better to inherit wxButton and try to paint image manually?

Hi.
You can try with a wxBitmapButton, with only a wxBitmap as label (and you can re-create the full bitmap with the associated text).

Hm. It looks much better without ui theme:

I think this is simply bug of wxWidgets.

It seems I have to select Qt. It's very dangerous to use GUI library having troubles in basic components.
