wx.BitmapDataObject

Inheritance diagram for wx.BitmapDataObject:

Description

wx.BitmapDataObject is a specialization of wx.DataObject for bitmap data. It can be used without change to paste data into the wx.Clipboard or a wx.DropSource. A user may wish to derive a new class from this class for providing a bitmap on-demand in order to minimize memory consumption when offering data in several formats, such as a bitmap and GIF.

Note

wxPython note: If you wish to create a derived wx.BitmapDataObject class in wxPython you should derive the class from wx.PyBitmapDataObject in order to get Python-aware capabilities for the various virtual methods.
