[wxPython] Controls in Toolbar; Drawing Problem

RE: [wxPython] Controls in Toolbar; Drawing Problem
Typical MS fudge! Does this occur in, say, Linux too? Or is it just limited to the 900lb Redmond gorilla?

I had been thinking along those lines, but I’m just learning, and I wanted to avoid anything too fudgy. Pursuit of perfection should be an ideal, not a principal, methinks!

Regards

Steve

I’ve got a curious problem when adding controls to the toolbar. If you

take

a quick look at the attached GIF, you’ll see what looks like a seperator

being drawn in the background at the center of controls that don’t fill

the

whole toolbar vertically.

Unfortunately the native toolbar has to be fooled into making space for the

controls by adding separators behind them. The only consolation I can offer

is that you can sometimes see this in Microsoft applications too!

Perhaps you can make your own wxControl that has the static text and whatnot

on it, but which is taller than the static text so it will hide the

separator…

Just the gorilla.
