[Pythoncard-users] Possible to display an image button over an image?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm trying to display an ImageButton on top of an Image, and having some
trouble with the button disappearing behind the Image from time to time. I
know I'm asking for trouble by simply stacking these two assets, so its not
really surprising.

I tried dynamically setting the Image as a background image for the window,
but haven't been able to get that to work.

When working in straight wxPython, I do something like this:

fname = "background_image.jpg"
bmp = wx.Image(fname, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY)
self.buffer = wx.BitmapFromImage(bmp)
dc = wx.BufferedDC(wx.ClientDC(self), self.buffer)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)

def OnPaint(self, evt):
    dc = wx.BufferedPaintDC(self, self.buffer)

Can anyone think of a way to achieve this in PythonCard? I'd rather not
convert this project to straight wxPython if I can avoid it.
