I have been working on this project for some time now - it was originally supposed to be a test to see if, using wxPython, I could build a button 'from scratch.' From scratch means: that i would have full control over all the aspects of the button (i.e. controlling the BMP's that are displayed... what the event handlers did... etc.)
I have run into several problems (as this is my first major python project.) Now, when the all the code is working for the life of me I can't get an image to display.
Basic code - not working
dc = wx.BufferedPaintDC(self)
dc.SetFont(self.GetFont())
dc.SetBackground(wx.Brush(self.GetBackgroundColour()))
dc.Clear()
dc.DrawBitmap(wx.Bitmap("/home/wallter/Desktop/Mouseover.bmp"), 100, 100)
self.Refresh()
self.Update()

print '_onPaint'
# draw whatever you want to draw
# draw glossy bitmaps e.g. dc.DrawBitmap
if self._mouseIn: # If the Mouse is over the button
dc.DrawBitmap(self.Over_bmp, self.pos)
else: # Since the mouse isn't over it Print the normal one
# This is adding on the above code to draw the bmp
# in an attempt to get the bmp to display; to no avail.
dc.DrawBitmap(self.Norm_bmp, self.pos)
if self._mouseDown: # If the Mouse clicks the button
dc.DrawBitmap(self.Push_bmp, self.pos)
This code won't work? I get no BMP displayed why? How do i get one? I've gotten the staticBitmap(...) to display one, but it won't move, resize, or anything for that matter... - it's only in the top left corner of the frame?
Note: the frame is 400pxl X 400pxl - and the "/home/wallter/Desktop/Mouseover.bmp"
