"""
A custom panel class with gradient background shading with the possibility to
add buttons and controls still respecting the gradient background.

  
Description
===========

With :class:`ButtonPanel` class you have a panel with gradient colouring
on it and with the possibility to place some buttons on it. Using a
standard panel with normal :class:`Buttons` leads to an ugly result: the
buttons are placed correctly on the panel - but with grey area around
them. Gradient colouring is kept behind the images - this was achieved
due to the PNG format and the transparency of the bitmaps.

The image are functioning like a buttons and can be caught in your
code using the usual::

  self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton)

method.

The control is generic, and support theming (well, I tested it under
Windows with the three defauls themes: grey, blue, silver and the
classic look).


Usage
=====

:class:`ButtonPanel` supports 4 alignments: left, right, top, bottom, which have a
different meaning and behavior with respect to :class:`Toolbar`. The easiest
thing is to try the demo to understand, but I'll try to explain how it works.

**CASE 1**: :class:`ButtonPanel` has a main caption text.

- Left alignment means :class:`ButtonPanel` is horizontal, with the text aligned to the
  left. When you shrink the demo frame, if there is not enough room for all
  the controls to be shown, the controls closest to the text are hidden;

- Right alignment means :class:`ButtonPanel` is horizontal, with the text aligned to the
  right. Item layout as above;

- Top alignment means :class:`ButtonPanel` is vertical, with the text aligned to the top.
  Item layout as above;

- Bottom alignment means :class:`ButtonPanel` is vertical, with the text aligned to the
  bottom. Item layout as above.


**CASE 2**: :class:`ButtonPanel` has **no** main caption text.

- In this case, left and right alignment are the same (as top and bottom are the same),
  but the layout strategy changes: now if there is not enough room for all the controls
  to be shown, the last added items are hidden ("last" means on the far right for an
  horizontal :class:`ButtonPanel` and far bottom for a vertical :class:`ButtonPanel`).


Usage example::

    import wx
    import wx.lib.agw.buttonpanel as BP

    class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

        def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, title="ButtonPanel", pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
                     size=(800, 600), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE):
                 
            wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos, size, style)

            mainPanel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
            self.logtext = wx.TextCtrl(mainPanel, -1, "", style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)

            vSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) 
            mainPanel.SetSizer(vSizer) 

            titleBar = BP.ButtonPanel(mainPanel, -1, "A Simple Test & Demo")

            btn1 = BP.ButtonInfo(titleBar, wx.NewId(), wx.Bitmap("png4.png", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG))
            titleBar.AddButton(btn1)
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton, btn1)

            btn2 = BP.ButtonInfo(titleBar, wx.NewId(), wx.Bitmap("png3.png", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG))
            titleBar.AddButton(btn2)
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton, btn2)

            btn3 = BP.ButtonInfo(titleBar, wx.NewId(), wx.Bitmap("png2.png", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG))
            titleBar.AddButton(btn3)
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton, btn3)

            btn4 = BP.ButtonInfo(titleBar, wx.NewId(), wx.Bitmap("png1.png", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG))
            titleBar.AddButton(btn4)
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton, btn4)

            vSizer.Add(titleBar, 0, wx.EXPAND)
            vSizer.Add((20, 20))
            vSizer.Add(self.logtext, 1, wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, 5)

            titleBar.DoLayout()
            vSizer.Layout()


        def OnButton(self, event):
            ''' Handler for the ``wx.EVT_BUTTON`` event. '''

            obj = event.GetEventObject()

            # This will print the button label
            print obj.GetText()


    # our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual

    app = wx.App(0)

    frame = MyFrame(None)
    app.SetTopWindow(frame)
    frame.Show()

    app.MainLoop()



Window Styles
=============

This class supports the following window styles:

==================== =========== ==================================================
Window Styles        Hex Value   Description
==================== =========== ==================================================
``BP_DEFAULT_STYLE``         0x1 :class:`ButtonPanel` has a plain solid background.
``BP_USE_GRADIENT``          0x2 :class:`ButtonPanel` has a gradient shading background.
==================== =========== ==================================================


Events Processing
=================

This class processes the following events:

================= ==================================================
Event Name        Description
================= ==================================================
``wx.EVT_BUTTON`` Process a `wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED` event, when a button is clicked. 
================= ==================================================


License And Version
===================

:class:`ButtonPanel` is distributed under the wxPython license.

         to the value of other children of the same :class:`BoxSizer`. For example, you might have
         a horizontal :class:`BoxSizer` with three children, two of which are supposed to change their
         size with the sizer. Then the two stretchable windows would get a value of 1 each to

         Two main behaviours are defined using these flags. One is the border around a window: the border parameter determines the border 
         width whereas the flags given here determine which side(s) of the item that the border will be added. The other flags determine 
         how the sizer item behaves when the space allotted to the sizer changes, and is somewhat dependent on the specific kind of sizer used:
