[wxPython-users] Animated Gif as Button

[Ben Harling]

Aha, yes. I can display the animated gif, but I need to register when the user clicks it, I cant seem to find any method to do this. You cannot use an wxGifAnimationCtrl with a bitmap button. I have looked into using Rect.inside(mouseClickLocation) but it seems there must be a better way to do it. I have also tried placing an emtpy bitmap button below the animated gif, but the bitmapButton wont receive clicks... :(

wx has a wx.animate module that has a GIFAnimation class. You should just be able to place one of those within your frame.
