wx.Button - vertical alignment of bitmap and text ?

Tim_Grove · December 13, 2010, 3:08pm

Is it possible to place the text label below the bitmap label in a wx.Button (or wx.BitmapButton) ? Thanks.

Is this what you mean ? See the attached demo app.

In 2.9 you should be able to do it by passing wx.TOP for the 2nd parameter to SetBitmap. I've never tried it however so I'm not sure if it is supported on all platforms.

Sorry, my attempts with 2.9 (python 2.7 on Windows 7) have failed, using the code:

btn.SetBitmapLabel(bitmap, wx.TOP )

Or should it be entered as some keyword argument?? Anyway, the resulting error shows as follows:

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wx-2.9.1-msw\wx\_controls.py", line 121, in SetBitmapLabel
return _controls_.Button_SetBitmapLabel(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: Button_SetBitmapLabel() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

Best regards,

Try SetBitmap. SetBitmapLabel has a slightly different purpose.

     // show the image in the button in addition to the label: this method is
     // supported on all (major) platforms
     void SetBitmap(const wxBitmap& bitmap, wxDirection dir = wxLEFT);
     wxBitmap GetBitmap() const;
     %property(Bitmap, GetBitmap, SetBitmap);

     // Methods for setting individual images for different states: normal,
     // selected (meaning pushed or pressed), focused (meaning normal state for
     // a focused button), disabled or hover (a.k.a. hot or current).
     //
     // Remember that SetBitmap() itself must be called before any other
     // SetBitmapXXX() methods (except for SetBitmapLabel() which is a synonym
     // for it anyhow) and that all bitmaps passed to these functions should be
     // of the same size.
     void SetBitmapLabel(const wxBitmap& bitmap);
     void SetBitmapPressed(const wxBitmap& bitmap);
     void SetBitmapDisabled(const wxBitmap& bitmap);
     void SetBitmapCurrent(const wxBitmap& bitmap);
     void SetBitmapFocus(const wxBitmap& bitmap);

I just noticed that there is also this method to just change the position:

     // set the image position relative to the text, i.e. wxLEFT means that the
     // image is to the left of the text (this is the default)
     void SetBitmapPosition(wxDirection dir);

btn.SetBitmap(bitmap, wx.TOP)

Tim_Grove · December 14, 2010, 11:45am

Thanks. My mistake was using .SetBitmapLabel().

      Is it possible to place the text label
below the bitmap label in a wx.Button (or wx.BitmapButton) ?
Thanks.

Is this what you mean ? See the attached demo app.

Not quite what I was looking for, but thanks, your code taught me a

few other things!!! With wxPython 2.9 the wx.Button class allows
for both a bitmap and text label, and I was just asking how to align
these vertically as well as horizontally; see other posts for the
answer if you are interested. The days of wx.BitmapButton are
numbered…

That's why I like good demo apps.

Not really. What if you want your caption text to be *within* the
bitmap ?

Besides, manipulating bitmaps with dc's is a powerful graphics
manipulation capability. But, you don't seem to have a need for
this... yet.
