toolbars on OS-X with wxPython2.8

[Christopher Barker]

Hi all,

Testing FloatCanvas on OS-X, I've noticed an issue with toolbars. I 
can't seem to place regular old buttons on a toolbar anymore.

I notices this notice under 2.7.1.1 Recent Changes:

"""
wxMac: I've turned on the compile option for using the native toolbar on 
the Mac now that it supports hosting of controls. If the toolbar is 
managed by the frame via either CreateToolBar() or SetToolBar() then the 
native toolbar will be used. Additional toolbars, or toolbars that are 
not children of the frame, are managed by sizers or what-not will still 
use the emulated toolbar because of platform restrictions in how/where 
the native toolbar can be used.
"""

In this case, I've got the toolbar manged by a sizer, so it should be 
using the old emulated toolbar, but it's not working right. I'll poke 
into this more, but just in case someone has a brilliant suggestion, 
here's a bit of the code:

     def BuildToolbar(self):
         tb = wx.ToolBar(self)
         self.ToolBar = tb
         tb.SetToolBitmapSize((24,24))

         self.PointerTool = tb.AddRadioTool(wx.ID_ANY,
                               bitmap=Resources.getPointerBitmap(),
                               shortHelp = "Pointer")
         self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL,
                   lambda evt : self.SetMode(Mode=self.GUIMouse),
                   self.PointerTool)

         self.ZoomInTool = tb.AddRadioTool(wx.ID_ANY,
                                     bitmap=Resources.getMagPlusBitmap(),
                                     shortHelp = "Zoom In")
         self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL,
                   lambda evt : self.SetMode(Mode=self.GUIZoomIn),
                   self.ZoomInTool)

         self.ZoomOutTool = tb.AddRadioTool(wx.ID_ANY,
                                    bitmap=Resources.getMagMinusBitmap(),
                                    shortHelp = "Zoom Out")
         self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL,
                  lambda evt : self.SetMode(Mode=self.GUIZoomOut),
                  self.ZoomOutTool)

         self.MoveTool = tb.AddRadioTool(wx.ID_ANY,
                                     bitmap=Resources.getHandBitmap(),
                                     shortHelp = "Move")
         self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL,
                   lambda evt : self.SetMode(Mode=self.GUIMove),
                   self.MoveTool)

         tb.AddSeparator()

         self.ZoomButton = wx.Button(tb, label="Zoom To Fit")
         tb.AddControl(self.ZoomButton)
         self.ZoomButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.ZoomToFit)

         tb.Realize()

         return tb

The "ZoomButton" never gets rendered. Is there something I should be 
doing differently?

By the way, there are also some oddities in the toolbar used by matplotlib.
