There is no control for this. You have to make your own!

Draw your text on a bitmap using wxMemoryDC. In the controls sample you will find a complete code. It looks like

Code: Select all

    wxBitmap bitmap( 100, 100 );
    wxMemoryDC dc;
    dc.SelectObject( bitmap );
    dc.SetBackground(*wxGREEN);
    dc.SetPen(*wxRED_PEN);
    dc.Clear();
    dc.DrawEllipse(5, 5, 90, 90);
    dc.DrawText(_T("Bitmap"), 30, 40);
    dc.SelectObject( wxNullBitmap );

    (void)new wxBitmapButton(panel, ID_BITMAP_BTN, bitmap, wxPoint(100, 20));
Edit: Use wxDC::DrawBitmap to draw your own bitmap on the wxMemoryDC's bitmap.

You should never be using Bitmap Buttons with labels, especially if they do not add meaning to the buttons.

See the Vista UX guidelines: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... e/home.asp
