Ruby Forum wxRuby > Bitmap toggle button

Hi,

How do I make a bitmap toggle button? I tried making a toggle button
and then drawing onto it, but that didn't work. Also, I tried a bitmap
button but that wouldn't remain pressed like a toggle button.

Thanks for any help,

warrior

There's nothing in standard wxRuby and wxWidgets like that, apart from a
"toggle" tool in a Wx::ToolBar.

If you search for "wxBitmapButton bitmap" you'll turn up references to
several wxWidgets C++ classes that do this. Maybe you could adapt the
code from one of those to Ruby.

Also, you might adapt from wxPython's GenBitmapToggleButton. The python
code should be easier to translate into wxRuby.

Thanks Alex,

wxPython's GenBitmapToggleButton seems to rely heavily on the toggle
mixin, and it might require more digging in than I had originally
intended. I'll try it later and keep posted.
