h1(#wxstaticbitmap). Wx::StaticBitmap

A static bitmap control displays a bitmap. It is meant for display of the
small icons in the dialog boxes and is not meant to be a general purpose image
display control. In particular, under Windows 9x the size of bitmap is limited
to $64*64$ pixels and thus you should use your own control if you want to
display larger images portably.

h2. Derived from

"Control":control.html

"Window":window.html

"EvtHandler":evthandler.html

"Object":object.html

h2. Window styles

There are no special styles for this control.

See also "window styles overview":windowstyles.html.

h2. Remarks

The bitmap to be displayed should have a small number of colours, such as 16, to avoid
palette problems.
