# Wx::BitmapDataObject

BitmapDataObject is a specialization of DataObject for bitmap data. It can
be used without change to paste data into the
Clipboard or a DropSource. A
user may wish to derive a new class from this class for providing a bitmap
on-demand in order to minimize memory consumption when offering data in several
formats, such as a bitmap and GIF.

## Derived from

DataObjectSimple

DataObject

## Methods

- BitmapDataObject#get_bitmap

BitmapDataObject.new(%(arg-type)Bitmap% bitmap = NullBitmap)

Constructor, optionally passing a bitmap (otherwise use
set_bitmap later).

### BitmapDataObject#get_bitmap

Bitmap get_bitmap()

Returns the bitmap associated with the data object. You may wish to override
this method when offering data on-demand, but this is not required by
Widgets’ internals. Use this method to get data in bitmap form from
the Clipboard.

### BitmapDataObject#set_bitmap

set_bitmap(%(arg-type)Bitmap% bitmap)

Sets the bitmap associated with the data object. This method is called when the
data object receives data. Usually there will be no reason to override this
function.
