Hi:

I didn't find BitmapFromImage either, but by interpreting the hieroglyphics of the wxBook, the following works for me. You'll have to reset the image filename to your test jpg file. Note also that the StaticBitmap documentation lists a 64x64 size limit under Windows 9x that I don't see here on Ubuntu, but you might. YMMV.

The hint was:

// Load an Image
wxImage image(wxT("image.png"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
// Convert it to a bitmap
wxBitmap bitmap(image);

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
