And to answer your initial question about images in buttons, here's how to do
it:
from System.Windows.Controls import Button, Image
from System.Windows.Media.Imaging import BitmapImage
btn = Button(
Width = 25,
Height = 20,
Content = Image(
Source = BitmapImage(Uri("images/stop.jpg", UriKind.Relative))
)
)
This assumes that "images/stop.jpg" is relative to the XAP file of your
application. To add an image to a System.Windows.Controls.Button, you must use
System.Windows.Controls.Image. The Image control then lets you set its Source,
which is where System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage comes into play.
Confusing, I know =(
This syntax uses IronPython's ability to use Python's named parameters to set
properties; it makes working with Silverlight and WPF objects a lot less
painful. Not using named parameters would look like this:
btn = Button()
btn.Width = 25
btn.Height = 20
img = Image()
img.Source = BitmapImage(Uri("images/stop.jpg", UriKind.Relative))
btn.Content = img
Oy =P
Let me know if you have any other Silverlight questions,
