[wxPython] wxToolBar and wxBitmaps

Hello All:

Is there no way to:

1. dynamically change the bitmap of a toolbar button at runtime?

2. assign a bitmap to a toolbar button from data in code (as opposed to loading from a file) using that generated by img2py.py?

Thanks in advance.

Mark

I'm not sure about this one

sure is. Below is the relevant code cut and pasted from something of
mine:

def GetHandData():
    return cPickle.loads(zlib.decompress(
'x\xda\xd3\xc8)0\xe4\nV72T\x00!\x05Cu\xae\xc4`u=\x85d\x05\xa7\x9c\xc4\xe4l0O\
\x01\xc8S\xb6t\x06A(\x1f\x0b\xa0\xa9\x8c\x9e\x1e6\x19\xa0\xa8\x1e\x88\xd4C\
\x97\xd1\x83\xe8\x80
\x9c2zh\xa6\xc1\x11X\n\xab\x8c\x02\x8a\x0cD!\x92\x12\
\x98\x8c\x1e\x8a\x8b\xd1d\x14\xf4\x90%\x90LC\xf6\xbf\x1e\xba\xab\x91%\xd0\
\xdc\x86C\x06\xd9m\xe8!\xaa\x87S\x86\x1a1\xa7\x07\x00v\x0f[\x17' ))

def GetHandBitmap():
    return wxBitmapFromXPMData(GetHandData())

tb.AddTool(ID_MOVE_MODE_BUTTON,
GetHandBitmap(),isToggle=true,shortHelpString = "Move")

Would it suffice to use DeleteToolByPos() to remove the existing tool, then
InsertTool to insert another with the updated bitmap?

I'll leave Q2 to someone else...
