This patch is a draft which successfully allows a wxArtProvider to serve out icons to bitmaps for XRC files.
The syntax to use a wxArtProvider bitmap is:
<bitmap stock_id="wxART_INFORMATION" stock_client="wxART_TOOLBAR">somefallbackicon.png</bitmap>
The bitmap is optional, and will only be used as a fallback image, if the wxArtProvider returned a wxNullBitmap for some reason.
The client attribute, if not specified, currently will be wxART_OTHER. Perhaps there should be a guessing heuristic of it being in a menu node to call wxART_MENU.
Usage of XRC resouces and wxArtProvider together can be seen in an updated /contrib/samples/xrc demo, which is a separate patch.
Search the wx-dev mailing lists for "wxArtProvider" and "XRC" for the full discussions on this feature's API design.
Applied patch [ 594932 ] Extended XRC XML resources sample
By Robert O'Connor (robertoconnor)
This is a more comprehensive introduction to how to get up and running using XRC in your new wxWindows project.
It describes both the basics (for new users) and advanced features. It consists of a demo of dialogs and frames loaded from XRC. Each dialog has a textctrl at the top of the dialog, which walks the new user through that feature.
There are 8 demos:
The 4 basic ones:
-A non-derived dialog, as typically used for an about dialog.
-A derived dialog that loads its resources from an XRC (a frequently-asked question on the mailing lists), and responds to some simple events, including the disable-another-control-via-EVT_UPDATE_UI that is another FAQ, and powerful and simple-to-use feature.
-A XRC reference "Controls" dialog, using a notebook. Each tab has a single control. All XRC handled widgets can be seen at a glance, and how to use them under XRC.
-An uncentered dialog, to demonstrate the easy use of <centered>1</centered> to automatically place a Dialog centered on its parent..
The 4 advanced ones:
-Embedding a custom class into an XRC dialog, by using the "unknown" class.
-Using wxArtProvider to use stock icons from within your your XRC resources.
-Using the platform attribute to selectively show a part of XRC based on the current OS.
-Runtime variable expansion (demo only. Not implemented at this time).
Also:
-The main frame is now demonstrated as being loaded as an XRC.
- The toolbar has longhelp tag demonstrated, and are hooked up to the same events as the menu to show how XRCID() works on the same tool and menuitem XRCID.
-Some custom icons for the demonstration were created, and put into the toolbar and menubar. A custom icon also for the demonstration.
-The example code has been put in 1 class per file (both .cpp and a matching .xrc), to make it much less confusing for a newcomer to figure out what class is what, expecially with all the wx macros for declaration and implementation.

Unicode with their GNU libc 2.2 funtions. This
saves us some unicode<->ansi conversion and we
no longer need the experimental printf() code
in string.cpp. I had to implement wxSprintf()
using wxSnprintf() as the former doesn't exist
in Unicode GNU libc 2.2.

being just a define so that the signature is
using wxChar under Unicode under Unix just as
it does under Unicode under Mac. This required
some modification in various places, but should
make debugging a little easier, among others.

This allows changing the padding of the icons and text
in the tab of a wxNotebook for wxGTK.
Since the container in the tab is only a horizontal
container only the width component is used. Negative
values are acceptable so no checks were made.
It now defaults to a padding of 0 on the sides and 1 in
between the icon and label, looks good for a few
"themes" I tried.
Note: Unfortunately there is no function to set the
padding on the left or right side of a widget.
gtk_box_set_child_packing sets padding on BOTH sides of
a widget so you'd get double the spacing between an
icon and the label. To get around this, the icon (if
there was one) is removed and added back. That way the
icon will provide the padding on the left and the label
will provide the padding between and to the right. It
looks nice for all sizes. The
gtk_container_set_border_width unforuntately only adds
borders to ALL sides equally.
A simple check is to add m_notebook->SetPadding in one
in the spinctrl callback in the controls sample. (set
appropriate range too -10,20). Note that the tab sizes
change to fit the width of the panel, if appropriate,
and so the spacing between the icon and label changes
accordingly. This isn't a bug, but it does look weird
as you scan up and down the spacing (which nobody would
normally do).
I also changed all wxGtkNotebookPage variables to
nb_page so that "int page" would be used to mean the
page number. Just cosmetic for consistency with the
rest of the functions that were already like that.

This fixes the problem in include/wx/wxchar.h with
including <wchar.h> for CW reported by Andreas
Simanowski.
The current version does not work with CW Win32 builds.
The fix suggested by Andreas is incorrect, because it
will break the wxMAC CW builds.
The purpose of conditionals starting at line 77 is to
correctly handle the various compilers. The fundamental
problem with the existing code is that it begins by
conditioning on __WIN32__. This is wrong, and makes
it hard to handle compilers that work on more than one
OS (such as CW).
Instead the conditionals should be done purely on
compilers. Each compiler can then set things
appropriately. If a particular compiler works on more
than one OS but has different needs on each OS, then
this can be handled within the code for that compiler.
The attached patch removes the top level conditional on
__WIN32__ and restructures the remainder as a series
of conditionals on individual compilers.

Applied with some modifications (remove buttons from the chain on
destruction, or the program will segfault).
