I have a bitmap button in a StaticBoxSizer. I need to toggle the button between two images periodically (based on the status of of a device). To ‘change’ the bitmap button, do I need to detach the button from the sizer, destroy the button, recreate the button with the other bitmap, then add it to the sizer? Or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Patrick

I think it would be easier to just create two buttons and show/hide
them as needed. Put both in the sizer, hide the one you don't want to
see initially and then when you need to show it, hide the original
button. You may need to call Layout() after the show/hide.

That worked perfectly!
Thanks,

couldn't you just call SetBitmap() on the button when you want to change it?

I couldn't tell from the docs if that would work or not and didn't
want to spend the time putting together a script to test it.

If I’m using a png, does this mean that I’ll have to use img2py to convert it first?

No, you should be able to do something like this:
button.SetBitmapLabel(wx.Bitmap(r"\\path\to\my.png"))

This works, however I’m having trouble getting it to update. It only updates the bitmap at the next gui event(when I click on another button). I’ve tried button.GetParent().Layout(), but still no update.
BTW, this is a GenBitmapButton.
Thanks,
Patrick

You might need to explicitly call
button.Refresh() and/or button.Update()
to get it to redraw itself sooner.

I should have known better than to post without searching the archives… button.Refresh() did the trick.
Thanks to everyone on this list! My first wxPython app, heck, my first real program of any sort, is complete (until the client wants a new feature).
