+ Inheritance diagram for wxImageList:

Detailed Description

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

Images can use alpha channel or 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.

Use of this class is not recommended in the new code as it doesn't support showing DPI-dependent bitmaps. Please use wxWithImages::SetImages() instead of wxWithImages::SetImageList().

Library:  wxCore

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxImageList() [1/2]

wxImageList::wxImageList ( )

Default ctor.

Note that the object created using the default ctor is invalid and calling any methods other than Create() on it will result in an assertion failure.

◆ wxImageList() [2/2]

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.

Note that the size is specified in physical pixels and must correspond to the size of bitmaps, in pixels, that will be added to this list.

Parameters
widthWidth of the images in the list.
heightHeight of the images in the list.
maskIf true, all images will have masks, with the mask being created from the light grey pixels if not specified otherwise, i.e. if the image doesn't have neither alpha channel nor mask and no mask is explicitly specified when adding it. Note that if an image does have alpha channel or mask, it will always be used, whether this parameter is true or false.
initialCountThe initial size of the list.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Add() [1/3]

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

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

The physical size of the bitmap should be the same as the size specified when constructing wxImageList. If the width of the bitmap is greater than the image list width, bitmap is split into smaller images of the required width, allowing to add multiple images from a single 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.

◆ Add() [2/3]

int wxImageList::Add ( const wxBitmap bitmap,
const wxColour maskColour 
)

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

The physical size of the bitmap should be the same as the size specified when constructing wxImageList. If the width of the bitmap is greater than the image list width, bitmap is split into smaller images of the required width, allowing to add multiple images from a single bitmap.

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.

◆ Add() [3/3]

int wxImageList::Add ( const wxIcon icon)

Adds a new image using an icon.

The physical size of the icon should be the same as the size specified when constructing wxImageList.

Parameters
iconIcon to use as the image.
Returns
The new zero-based image index.
Availability:  only available for the wxMSW, wxOSX/Cocoa ports.

◆ Create()

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

Initializes the list.

See wxImageList() for details.

This function can be called only once after creating the object using its default ctor or after calling Destroy().

◆ Destroy()

void wxImageList::Destroy ( )

Destroys the current list.

This function resets the object to its initial state and does more than just RemoveAll() in the native wxMSW version.

After calling it, Create() may be called again to recreate the image list, e.g. using a different size.

Since
3.1.6

◆ Draw()

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.

◆ GetBitmap()

wxBitmap wxImageList::GetBitmap ( int  index) const

Returns the bitmap corresponding to the given index.

◆ GetIcon()

wxIcon wxImageList::GetIcon ( int  index) const

Returns the icon corresponding to the given index.

◆ GetImageCount()

virtual int wxImageList::GetImageCount ( ) const
virtual

Returns the number of images in the list.

◆ GetSize() [1/2]

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.

◆ GetSize() [2/2]

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 in pixels
heightreceives the height of the images in the list in pixels
Returns
true if the function succeeded, false if it failed (for example, if the image list was not yet initialized).

◆ Remove()

bool wxImageList::Remove ( int  index)

Removes the image at the given position.

◆ RemoveAll()

bool wxImageList::RemoveAll ( )

Removes all the images in the list.

◆ Replace() [1/2]

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

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

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.

◆ Replace() [2/2]

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.
