\section{\class{wxToggleButton}}\label{wxtogglebutton}

wxToggleButton is a button that stays pressed when clicked by the user. In
other words, it is similar to \helpref{wxCheckBox}{wxcheckbox} in
functionality but looks like a \helpref{wxButton}{wxbutton}.

You can see wxToggleButton in action in the sixth page of the 
\helpref{controls}{samplecontrols} sample.

{\bf NB:} This class is only available under wxMSW, wxGTK and wxMotif 
currently.
