Re: Re: Looking for an "on/off" toggle control

Lord help me but it occurred that a simplistic bitmap toggling option,
might be all some require.

A widget that you give 2 images and On Click it swaps them over.

It's very simple and not fully fledged but in certain circumstances may
be useful.

It essentially takes the wx.BitmapToggleButton to it's logical
conclusion i.e. it actually toggles bitmaps rather than flipping a
bitmap between an enabled and disabled look.

The "Disabled" bitmap is simply a greyed out version of the On Bitmap in
is simple version.

To run the demonstration unzip it and run "python ToggleButtonBitmap.py"
from the command line.
