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:

@li @b normal: the default state
@li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.

+ 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

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

+ images will be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.

The preferred way to create standard buttons is to use default value of
@a label. If no label is supplied and @a id is one of standard IDs from

+ @ref page_stockitems "this list", a standard label will be used. In
+ other words, if you use a predefined @c wxID_XXX constant, just omit
+ the label completely rather than specifying it. In particular, help
+ buttons (the ones with @a id of @c wxID_HELP) under Mac OS X can't
+ display any label at all and while wxButton will detect if the standard
+ "Help" label is used and ignore it, using any other label will prevent
+ the button from correctly appearing as a help button and so should be
+ avoided.
+
In addition to that, the button will be decorated with stock icons under GTK+ 2.
