# Gtk::ToggleButton Class Reference
[Widgets]

Inheritance diagram for Gtk::ToggleButton:

[legend]
List of all members.

## Detailed Description

A Gtk::ToggleButton will remain 'pressed-in' when clicked.

Clicking again will cause the toggle button to return to it's normal state. The state of a Gtk::ToggleButton can be set specifically using set_active(), and retrieved using get_active(). To simply switch the state of a toggle button, use toggled().

## Public Member Functions

bool | get_active () const
bool | get_inconsistent () const
| Gets the value set by set_inconsistent().
bool | get_mode () const
| Retrieves whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.
const GtkToggleButton* | gobj () const
| Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.
GtkToggleButton* | gobj ()
| Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.
void | set_active (bool is_active=true)
void | set_inconsistent (bool setting=true)
| If the user has selected a range of elements (such as some text or spreadsheet cells) that are affected by a toggle button, and the current values in that range are inconsistent, you may want to display the toggle in an "in between" state.
void | set_mode (bool draw_indicator=true)
| Sets whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.
Glib::SignalProxy0<void> | signal_toggled ()
| ToggleButton (const Glib::ustring& label, bool mnemonic=false)
| Create a toggle button with a label.
| ToggleButton ()
| Create an empty toggle button.
void | toggled ()
virtual | ~ToggleButton ()

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::ToggleButton::~ToggleButton | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::ToggleButton::ToggleButton | ( |  | ) |

| Create an empty toggle button. With an empty button, you can Gtk::Button::add() a widget such as a Gtk::Pixmap or Gtk::Box. If you just wish to add a Gtk::Label, you may want to use the Gtk::ToggleButton(const Glib::ustring& label) constructor directly instead.

Gtk::ToggleButton::ToggleButton | ( | const Glib::ustring& | label,
|  | bool | mnemonic = `false`
| ) | `[explicit]`

| Create a toggle button with a label. You won't be able to add a widget to this button since it already contains a Gtk::Label

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::ToggleButton::get_active | ( |  | ) | const

bool Gtk::ToggleButton::get_inconsistent | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the value set by set_inconsistent().

Returns:
  `true` if the button is displayed as inconsistent, `false` otherwise.

bool Gtk::ToggleButton::get_mode | ( |  | ) | const

Retrieves whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.

See set_mode().

Returns:
  `true` if the togglebutton is drawn as a separate indicator and label.

const GtkToggleButton* Gtk::ToggleButton::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject. Reimplemented from Gtk::Button. Reimplemented in Gtk::CheckButton, and Gtk::RadioButton.

GtkToggleButton* Gtk::ToggleButton::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

| Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject. Reimplemented from Gtk::Button. Reimplemented in Gtk::CheckButton, and Gtk::RadioButton.

void Gtk::ToggleButton::set_active | ( | bool | is_active = `true` | ) |

void Gtk::ToggleButton::set_inconsistent | ( | bool | setting = `true` | ) |

If the user has selected a range of elements (such as some text or spreadsheet cells) that are affected by a toggle button, and the current values in that range are inconsistent, you may want to display the toggle in an "in between" state.

This function turns on "in between" display. Normally you would turn off the inconsistent state again if the user toggles the toggle button. This has to be done manually, set_inconsistent() only affects visual appearance, it doesn't affect the semantics of the button.

Parameters:

  | setting | `true` if state is inconsistent.

void Gtk::ToggleButton::set_mode | ( | bool | draw_indicator = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the button is displayed as a separate indicator and label.

You can call this function on a checkbutton or a radiobutton with draw_indicator = `false` to make the button look like a normal button

This function only affects instances of classes like Gtk::CheckButton and Gtk::RadioButton that derive from Gtk::ToggleButton, not instances of Gtk::ToggleButton itself.

Parameters:

  | draw_indicator | If `true`, draw the button as a separate indicator and label; if `false`, draw the button like a normal button.

Glib::SignalProxy0<void> Gtk::ToggleButton::signal_toggled | ( |  | ) |

Prototype:
  `void toggled()`

void Gtk::ToggleButton::toggled | ( |  | ) |

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Gtk::ToggleButton* wrap | ( | GtkToggleButton* | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) | `[related]`

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
