Creating Toggle Buttons
SWT.TOGGLE-style
buttons look
like push buttons, but behave like checkbox buttons in that they stay
pushed when clicked. This enables you to create buttons that provide
the user with the same look as SWT.PUSH buttons,
but provide them with a visual indication that the button has been
clicked.
How do I do that?
Creating an SWT.TOGGLE button is, once again, just
a matter of specifying the correct style:
final Button toggle = new Button(s, SWT.TOGGLE);
A button with the SWT.TOGGLE style appears as
shown in Figure 6-4 until the button is clicked,
when it appears as shown in Figure 6-5. Clicking
the button again will return it to the Figure 6-4
state.
