Intro

The PlateButton is a drop in replacement for a wx.BitmapButton that creates a flat button that supports showing any combination of a bitmap, label, and menu.

Api

# Constructor
button = PlateButton(parent, id_=wx.ID_ANY, label='', bmp=None, 
                    pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize,
                    style=PB_STYLE_DEFAULT, name=wx.ButtonNameStr)
 
# Style Flags
PB_STYLE_DEFAULT    # Normal Flat Background
PB_STYLE_GRADIENT   # Gradient Filled Background
PB_STYLE_SQUARE     # Use square corners instead of rounded
PB_STYLE_NOBG       # Useful on Windows to get a transparent appearance
                    # when the control is shown on a non solid background
PB_STYLE_DROPARROW  # Draw drop arrow and fire EVT_PLATEBTN_DROPRROW_PRESSED event

Example

import wx
import eclib
 
class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
 
        bmp = wx.ArtProvider.GetBitmap(wx.ART_INFORMATION, wx.ART_MENU)
        self.pbutton = eclib.PlateButton(self, wx.ID_ANY, u"Hello", bmp)
 
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer()
        sizer.Add(self.pbutton, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER)
        self.SetSizer(sizer)
 
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton)
 
    def OnButton(self, evt):
        print "Event Id", evt.GetId()
