Assume a bitmap widget (but this applies to all images). In the properties pane I can enter the name of an image file. This is ok, but for a short time only. The application will be packaged and distributed, and the images need to be located otherwise. Fortunately, wxGlade provides the neccessary code extensions. Instead of a hard-coded bitmap path I can use `var:...` to designate a variable that holds the filename of the image, and with Code > Insert before I can call a function to retrieve the image file name and fill the variable. Perfect. Except that I no longer can use the wxGlade 'preview'... An inelegant workaround would be the possibility to define `var:...` (for the generated code) **and** a static file name for preview. But maybe there are better solutions? In the past I used to overrule Wx::Bitmap::new with custom code, but that's also not really elegant. Thoughts? -- Johan
