Bitmap Toggle Button

wxPython Users

Has anyone any experience with a bitmap toggle button?

I can do a bitmap button and a toggle button, but not a toggle button
that displays a bitmap.

I am not even sure if I am approaching this correctly...

What I want to do is have a record button that when clicked, changes to
a stop button, linked to a different binding that stops recording.

Is that possible? If so, do I use a toggle button or destroy the button
and replace it?

Any ideas?

I know that in pyGTK you could do this with onButtonDown and onButtonUp
events. Is this possible in wxPython too?

According to Robin's book, the ToggleButton is inheriting from the wx.Button, with the main difference being that the ToggleButton sends EVT_TOGGLEBUTTON. You could use a sentinel value to tell when it's been toggled.

Of course, it looks like it would be easier to just use the generic buttons. See the demo. It has a generic toggle button with a bitmap of a lightbulb.

Got it, thanks! The demo came through again!

I now have a very pretty toggle button working.
