ANN: FancyButtonPanel Control For wxPython

[Andrea Gavana]

Hello NG,

    I would like to "announce" my quasi-latest control (yes, there is
another one coming right now), called FancyButtonPanel.

"With FancyButtonPanel class you have a panel with gradient coloring on it and
with the possibility to place some buttons on it. Using a standard
panel with normal wx.Buttons leads to an ugly result: the buttons are
placed correctly on the panel - but with grey area around them.
Gradient coloring is kept behind the images - this was achieved due to
the PNG format and the transparency of the bitmaps.

The image are functioning like a buttons and can be caught in your
code using the usual self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton) method.

The control is generic, and support theming (well, I tested it under
Windows with the three defauls themes: grey, blue, silver and the
classic look)."

The source code, demo and epydoc-generated documentation are available
in the usual place:

Or, if you prefer in italian:

The widget has been tested on wxPython 2.6.3.3, with Python 2.4 on Windows XP.

A load of thanks goes to Eran that posted the code on wxWidgets forum.
Please let me know about bugs and request of improvements.

Happy wxPythoning!

Andrea.
