   **Possible constructors**::

       AnyButton()
       



   .. method:: __init__(self)






   .. method:: GetBitmap(self)

      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetBitmap`   








   .. method:: GetBitmapCurrent(self)

      Returns the bitmap used when the mouse is over the button, which may be invalid.                  

                

      :rtype: :ref:`Bitmap`

   .. method:: GetBitmapLabel(self)

      Returns the bitmap for the normal state.                  

      This is exactly the same as :meth:`GetBitmap`   but uses a name backwards-compatible with :ref:`BitmapButton`.

   .. method:: GetBitmapMargins(self)

      Get the margins between the bitmap and the text of the button.                  

                

      :rtype: :ref:`Size`

      Sets the bitmap to display in the button.                  

      The bitmap is displayed together with the button label. This method sets up a single bitmap which is used in all button states, use :meth:`SetBitmapDisabled` , :meth:`SetBitmapPressed` , :meth:`SetBitmapCurrent`   or :meth:`SetBitmapFocus`   to change the individual images used in different states. 




      :param `bitmap`: The bitmap to display in the button. May be invalid to remove any currently displayed bitmap.   
      :type `bitmap`: Bitmap
      :param `dir`: The position of the bitmap inside the button. By default it is positioned to the left of the text, near to the left button border. Other possible values include ``RIGHT``, ``TOP`` and ``BOTTOM``.

   .. method:: SetBitmapMargins(self, *args, **kw)

      Set the margins between the bitmap and the text of the button.
