In this article we are going to learn about SetBitmaps() function associated with the wx.MenuItem class of wxPython. SetBitmaps() function Sets the checked/unchecked bitmaps for the menu item. The first bitmap is also used as the single bitmap for uncheckable menu items.
It takes two bitmaps as parameter for checked and unchecked status of menu item.
Syntax:
wx.MenuItem.SetBitmaps(self, checked, unchecked=NullBitmap)Parameters:
Parameter Input Type Description checked wx.Bitmap Bitmap to set for menu item while check. unchecked wx.Bitmap Bitmap to set for menu item while uncheck.
Code Example:
import wx class Example(wx.Frame): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.InitUI() def InitUI(self): self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH) self.menubar = wx.MenuBar() self.fileMenu = wx.Menu() self.item = wx.MenuItem(self.fileMenu, 1, '&Radio', helpString ="Check Help", kind = wx.ITEM_CHECK) # set bitmap for tool for checked and unchecked status self.item.SetBitmaps(checked = wx.Bitmap('right.png'), unchecked = wx.Bitmap('wrong.png')) self.fileMenu.Append(self.item) self.menubar.Append(self.fileMenu, '&File') self.SetMenuBar(self.menubar) self.SetSize((350, 250)) self.SetTitle('Icons and shortcuts') self.Centre() def main(): app = wx.App() ex = Example(None) ex.Show() app.MainLoop() if __name__ == '__main__': main() |
Output:
Checked :
Unchecked :
