Another, easier way to implement this type of functionality, is to use the
following given methods:

BitmapButton#set_bitmap_focus()<http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/bitmapbutton.html#BitmapButton_setbitmapfocus>
BitmapButton#set_bitmap_hover()<http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/bitmapbutton.html#BitmapButton_setbitmaphover>
BitmapButton#set_bitmap_selected()<http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/bitmapbutton.html#BitmapButton_setbitmapselected>
BitmapButton#set_bitmap_disable()<http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/bitmapbutton.html#BitmapButton_setbitmapdisable>

Though, the way you have now, gives you an idea of how to do things, this
sort of thing is already implemented, just so ya know. ;-)
