WkImageToggleButton

WkImageToggleButtons have two states: on, and off. They call their valueChanged callback when their state changes. Image toggle buttons may have an image and/or text string for a label. The image and text labels may be layed out either vertically or horizontally. Different images and labels can be specified for the up state, the pressed state, the checked state and the disabled state.

Callbacks & Events

Arm Callback
These callbacks are triggered when the button is armed. Buttons are armed and appear pressed whenever the moused is pressed within the button and not yet released. If the mouse is moved outside of the button while still pressed, the button will be disarmed and appear unpressed. If the mouse is released while still in the button, the button is activated

 

Default Action Callback
These callbacks are triggered when the widget is double clicked.

 

Disarm Callback
These callbacks are triggered when the button is disarmed. Buttons are disarmed whenever the mouse is moved outside of the button after it has been armed. Moving the mouse back over the button while the mouse button is still down will cause the button to become rearmed.

 

Value Changed Callback
These callbacks are triggered when the checkbox value is changed.

Call data arguments:

set - a Boolean value indicating if the checkbox is toggle on (true) or off (false).

Editor

Border Width
Specifies the width of the border that surrounds the widget’s window on all four sides. The width is specified in pixels. A width of zero means that no border will show.

Border - Causes the widget to have a border.

Draw Policy
Specifies the drawing policy used in rendering buttons. The drawing policy determines two things for a button:

1. how the button draws itself so it looks like a button;

Shadowed Three State - Buttons are drawn with a 3D shadowed outline and exhibit a 3-state (OFF, ON, and PRESSED) state rendering.

Outlined - Buttons are drawn with a simple etched (non-shadowed) outline and exhibit a 2-state (OFF and ON) state rendering.

Example

The following example code creates a WkImageToggleButton where the image is composed of an icon (from a file) and a text label laid out vertically. This corresponds to the upper left image at the start of the WkImageToggleButton section.

aWkImageToggleButton := WkImageToggleButton

createWidget: 'aWkImageToggleButton'

parent: self form

argBlock: [:w | w

x: 52;

y: 44;

width: 136;

height: 80;

image: (WbLabeledImage stateDriven

image: (WbIcon fromFile: 'BALLOON.ICO')

label: 'Balloon';

orientation: XmVERTICAL;

yourself);

scale].

The next example code creates a WkImageToggleButton where the image is composed of an icon (from a file) and a text label laid out horizontally and the initial state has been set on. This corresponds to the lower right image at the start of the WkImageToggleButton section.

aWkImageToggleButton := WkImageToggleButton

createWidget: 'aWkImageToggleButton'

parent: self form

argBlock: [:w | w

x: 52;

y: 44;
