12 | A helper class making it possible to use custom background for any window. | |
13 | ||
14 | wxWindow itself only provides SetBackgroundColour() method taking a (solid) | |
15 | wxColour. This class extends it by allowing to use custom bitmap | |
16 | backgrounds with any window, provided that you inherit from it. Notice that | |
17 | the usual rule of not interfering with event handling or painting of native | |
18 | controls still applies, so you shouldn't try to use custom backgrounds with | |
19 | classes such as wxButton (even if this might work on some platforms, it's | |
20 | not guaranteed to work in general). But you can use this class in | |
21 | conjunction with wxWindow, wxPanel, wxFrame and other similar classes, e.g. | |
22 | the erase sample shows how to use it with wxScrolledWindow: | |
23 | ||
24 | @code | |
25 | #include "wx/custombgwin.h" | |
26 | ||
27 | class MyCanvas : public wxCustomBackgroundWindow<wxScrolledWindow> | |
28 | { | |
29 | public: | |
30 | MyCanvas(wxWindow* parent) | |
31 | { | |
32 | // Notice that we must explicitly call base class Create() | |
33 | // instead of using its ctor as wxCustomBackgroundWindow | |
34 | // doesn't define any non-default ctors. | |
35 | Create(parent, wxID_ANY); | |
36 | ||
37 | ... | |
38 | ||
39 | SetBackgroundBitmap(bitmap); | |
40 | } | |
41 | }; | |

56 | Set the background bitmap for this window. | |
57 | ||
58 | If @a bmp is a valid bitmap, this bitmap will be tiled over the panel | |
59 | background and show through any of its transparent children. Passing an | |
60 | invalid bitmap reverts to the default background appearance. | |

62 | Notice that you must not prevent the base class EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND | |
