When you create a image or text button, it will return a handle. With this handle you can toggle it (set it into a up/down state) using;

SendMessage_(handle,#BM_SETSTATE,1,0)

and...

SendMessage_(handle,#BM_SETSTATE,0,0)

Might also be usefull on other types of gadgets. Maybe someone will find that usefull?

I've said this before, and some folks are doing it,
but it would be nice when code is
presented to always have a way of knowing which
O.S. the code is applicable to and whether
or not an external library, .dll, API
call or whatever is required...

The above is good for manually toggling a button's state, but if you'd rather
have Windows do the toggling for you, just create a CheckBox (yes!) like so:

; CheckBox looks and acts like a toggle button.
cb=CheckBoxGadget(#Gadget, x, y, Width, Heigth, Text$)
SetWindowLong_(cb,#GWL_STYLE,GetWindowLong_(cb,#GWL_STYLE)|$1000)
