+ By default, i.e. if none of the alignment styles are specified, the label
+ is centered both horizontally and vertically. If the button has both a
+ label and a bitmap, the alignment styles above specify the location of the
+ rectangle combining both the label and the bitmap and the bitmap position
+ set with wxButton::SetBitmapPosition() defines the relative position of the
+ bitmap with respect to the label (however currently non-default alignment
+ combinations are not implemented on all platforms).
- Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image, see
+ Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image
+ (currently only when using wxMSW, wxGTK or wxOSX/Cocoa ports), see
SetBitmap() and SetBitmapLabel(), SetBitmapDisabled() &c methods. In the
previous wxWidgets versions this functionality was only available in (the
now trivial) wxBitmapButton class which was only capable of showing an
image without text.
A button may have either a single image for all states or different images
- for the following states:
+ for the following states (different images are not currently supported
+ under OS X where the normal image is used for all states):
@li @b normal: the default state
@li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.
@li @b pressed: bitmap shown when the button is pushed (e.g. while the user
get reasonably good behaviour on all platforms.
All of the bitmaps must be of the same size and the normal bitmap must be
- set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones.
+ set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones. Also, if the
+ size of the bitmaps is changed later, you need to change the size of the
+ normal bitmap before setting any other bitmaps with the new size (and you
+ do need to reset all of them as their original values can be lost when the
+ normal bitmap size changes).
The position of the image inside the button be configured using
SetBitmapPosition(). By default the image is on the left of the text.
+ Please also notice that GTK+ uses a global setting called @c gtk-button-images
+ to determine if the images should be shown in the buttons
+ at all. If it is off (which is the case in e.g. Gnome 2.28 by default), no
+ images will be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.

+ @style{wxBU_NOTEXT}
+ Disables the display of the text label in the button even if it has one
+ or its id is one of the standard stock ids with an associated label:
+ without using this style a button which is only supposed to show a

+ Creates a button without border. This is currently implemented in MSW,
+ GTK2 and OSX/Carbon ports but in the latter only applies to buttons
+ with bitmaps and using bitmap of one of the standard sizes only, namely
+ 128*128, 48*48, 24*24 or 16*16. In all the other cases wxBORDER_NONE is
