How to create a BitmapButton that can be toggled?
I know this topic has been around, but I haven't been able to find a
satisfactory solution (other than messing with inverting bitmaps manually,
which seems ugly) on the mailing list archive.

Before I go to lengths writing my own Button subclass in C++, is there an
elegant way in Python?
I read a previous post
(http://lists.wxwindows.org/pipermail/wx-users/2001-January/007147.html)
from Robin where example code is mentioned but the sourceforge link seems
invalid.

cheers,
Mike

See wxGenBitmapButton in wxPython/lib... the methods of interest will
[probably!] be SetBitmapDisabled
SetBitmapFocus
SetBitmapSelected

Cheerio, Chris

The new link is

http://cvs.wxwindows.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/wxPython/wxPython/lib/buttons.p
y?rev=1.5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

and it's actually a module you already have in your wxPython install. The
class you want is wxGenBitmapToggleButton. See the demo for an example.
