\section{\class{wxBitmapButton}}\label{wxbitmapbutton}

A bitmap button is a control that contains a bitmap.
It may be placed on a \helpref{dialog box}{wxdialog} or \helpref{panel}{wxpanel}, or indeed
almost any other window.

\wxheading{Derived from}

\wxheading{Include files}

<wx/bmpbuttn.h>

\wxheading{Remarks}

A bitmap button can be supplied with a single bitmap, and wxWindows will draw
all button states using this bitmap. If the application needs more control, additional bitmaps for
the selected state, unpressed focussed state, and greyed-out state may be supplied.

\wxheading{Window styles}

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBU\_AUTODRAW}}{If
this is specified, the button will be drawn automatically using the label bitmap only, providing
a 3D-look border. If this style is not specified, the button will be drawn without borders and using all
provided bitmaps.}
\end{twocollist}

See also \helpref{window styles overview}{windowstyles}.

\wxheading{Event handling}

\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_BUTTON(id, func)}}{Process a wxEVT\_COMMAND\_BUTTON\_CLICKED event,
when the button is clicked.}

\membersection{wxBitmapButton::wxBitmapButton}\label{wxbitmapbuttonconstr}

\func{}{wxBitmapButton}{\void}

Default constructor.

\func{}{wxBitmapButton}{\param{wxWindow* }{parent}, \param{wxWindowID}{ id}, \param{const wxBitmap\& }{bitmap},\rtfsp
\param{const wxPoint\& }{pos}, \param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize},\rtfsp
\param{long}{ style = wxBU\_AUTODRAW}, \param{const wxValidator\& }{validator}, \param{const wxString\& }{name = ``button"}}

Constructor, creating and showing a button.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{parent}{Parent window. Must not be NULL.}

\docparam{id}{Button identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value.}

\docparam{bitmap}{Bitmap to be displayed.}

\docparam{pos}{Button position.}

\docparam{size}{Button size. If the default size (-1, -1) is specified then the button is sized
appropriately for the bitmap.}

\docparam{style}{Window style. See \helpref{wxBitmapButton}{wxbitmapbutton}.}

\docparam{validator}{Window validator.}

\docparam{name}{Window name.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

The {\it bitmap} parameter is normally the only bitmap you need to provide, and wxWindows will
draw the button correctly in its different states. If you want more control, call
any of the functions \helpref{wxBitmapButton::SetBitmapSelected}{wxbitmapbuttonsetbitmapselected},\rtfsp
\helpref{wxBitmapButton::SetBitmapFocus}{wxbitmapbuttonsetbitmapfocus},\rtfsp
\helpref{wxBitmapButton::SetBitmapDisabled}{wxbitmapbuttonsetbitmapdisabled}.

Note that the bitmap passed is smaller than the actual button created.
