+ Inheritance diagram for wxImageList:

Detailed Description

A wxImageList contains a list of images, which are stored in an unspecified form.

Images can have masks for transparent drawing, and can be made from a variety of sources including bitmaps and icons.

wxImageList is used principally in conjunction with wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl classes.

Library:  wxCore
Category:  Graphics Device Interface (GDI)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxImageList::wxImageList ( )

Default ctor.

wxImageList::wxImageList ( int  width,
int  height,
bool  mask = true,
int  initialCount = 1 
)

Constructor specifying the image size, whether image masks should be created, and the initial size of the list.

Parameters
widthWidth of the images in the list.
heightHeight of the images in the list.
masktrue if masks should be created for all images.
initialCountThe initial size of the list.

Create()

Member Function Documentation

int wxImageList::Add ( const wxBitmap bitmap,
const wxBitmap mask = wxNullBitmap 
)

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and optional mask bitmap.

Parameters
bitmapBitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.
maskMonochrome mask bitmap, representing the transparent areas of the image.
Returns
The new zero-based image index.
Remarks
The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Add() operation, and can be deleted afterwards. If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list. This does not apply when adding icons.
int wxImageList::Add ( const wxBitmap bitmap,
const wxColour maskColour 
)

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and mask colour.

Parameters
bitmapBitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.
maskColourColour indicating which parts of the image are transparent.
Returns
The new zero-based image index.
Remarks
The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Add() operation, and can be deleted afterwards. If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list. This does not apply when adding icons.
int wxImageList::Add ( const wxIcon icon)

Adds a new image using an icon.

Parameters
iconIcon to use as the image.
Returns
The new zero-based image index.
Remarks
The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Add() operation, and can be deleted afterwards. If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list. This does not apply when adding icons.
Availability:  only available for the wxMSW, wxOSX/Cocoa ports.
bool wxImageList::Create ( int  width,
int  height,
bool  mask = true,
int  initialCount = 1 
)

Initializes the list.

See wxImageList() for details.

virtual bool wxImageList::Draw ( int  index,
wxDC dc,
int  x,
int  y,
int  flags = wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL,
bool  solidBackground = false 
)
virtual

Draws a specified image onto a device context.

Parameters
indexImage index, starting from zero.
dcDevice context to draw on.
xX position on the device context.
yY position on the device context.
flagsHow to draw the image. A bitlist of a selection of the following:
  • wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL: Draw the image normally.
  • wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_TRANSPARENT: Draw the image with transparency.
  • wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_SELECTED: Draw the image in selected state.
  • wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_FOCUSED: Draw the image in a focused state.
solidBackgroundFor optimisation - drawing can be faster if the function is told that the background is solid.
wxBitmap wxImageList::GetBitmap ( int  index) const

Returns the bitmap corresponding to the given index.

wxIcon wxImageList::GetIcon ( int  index) const

Returns the icon corresponding to the given index.

virtual int wxImageList::GetImageCount ( ) const
virtual

Returns the number of images in the list.

virtual bool wxImageList::GetSize ( int  index,
int &  width,
int &  height 
) const
virtual

Retrieves the size of the images in the list.

Currently, the index parameter is ignored as all images in the list have the same size.

Parameters
indexcurrently unused, should be 0
widthreceives the width of the images in the list
heightreceives the height of the images in the list
Returns
true if the function succeeded, false if it failed (for example, if the image list was not yet initialized).
virtual wxSize wxImageList::GetSize ( ) const
virtual

Retrieves the size of the image list as passed to Create().

Returns
the size of the image list, which may be zero if the image list was not yet initialised.
bool wxImageList::Remove ( int  index)

Removes the image at the given position.

bool wxImageList::RemoveAll ( )

Removes all the images in the list.

bool wxImageList::Replace ( int  index,
const wxBitmap bitmap,
const wxBitmap mask = wxNullBitmap 
)

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

Windows only.

Parameters
indexThe index of the bitmap to be replaced.
bitmapBitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.
maskMonochrome mask bitmap, representing the transparent areas of the image.
Returns
true if the replacement was successful, false otherwise.
Remarks
The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Replace() operation, and can be deleted afterwards.
bool wxImageList::Replace ( int  index,
const wxIcon icon 
)

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

Parameters
indexThe index of the bitmap to be replaced.
iconIcon to use as the image.
Returns
true if the replacement was successful, false otherwise.
Remarks
The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Replace() operation, and can be deleted afterwards.
Availability:  only available for the wxMSW, wxOSX/Cocoa ports.
