How I can create PUSHED toggle button?

I want to create this: my program launches and reads settings - and in one case someone toggle button is pushed, in another case it's released...

I can't find ANY info about ButtonGadgets commands in PureBasic Help... are they supported?

Please, use simple english. My english is too far from perfect.

Win Api:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#togglebutton), #BM_CLICK, 0, 0)

For example,

Code: Select all

 If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 222, 200, "ButtonGadgets", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
    ButtonGadget(4, 10,10, 80, 40, "Toggle", #PB_Button_Toggle)
    SendMessage_(GadgetID(4), #BM_CLICK, 0, 0)
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf

In Windows a checkbox can have a button appearance, wich toggles the way you want

The above is only a poor substitute

Apply this flag: #PB_Button_Toggle

The help file has a "Gadget" link, on which you can find detailed help on all the individual gadgets. The buttongadget help has a demo program showing this flag in action, along with some others.

srod, I don't think you've ever beaten me before...

I'm sure I have somewhere along the line!

For new comers it's probably best to use as much native PB commands as possible since that is what the help file refers to.

Example... instead of API:
SendMessage_(GadgetID(4), #BM_CLICK, 0, 0)

use:
SetGadgetState(4,1)

Bugger me, I didn't know you could do that!

I looked in the help manual for exactly that, didn't see it and thus didn't try it!

An omission from the help manual methinks!

Mind you, it equates to a check box anyhow and so should have been obvious!

Thanks Paul!

I suggested that SetGadgetState doesn't work with ButtonGadget, because no "ButtonGadget" was in SetGadgetState supported gadgets list. But it works!

WinAPI command will be useful too

Thanks to all!

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#togglebutton), #BM_SETCHECK, 0, state)

Wow, billy messed it up for checkboxes having the 'pushlike' style(#PB_Button_Toggle) when the app is XP themed.

On click the effect is the same as for an ordinary button, the released state.
You'll have to remove the mouse from the button area.
Then it shows itself pressed again.

A bit poor.

Why?
Is native for all OS

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(GadgetID(4), #BM_GETCHECK, 0, 0)
