# wxToggleButton (wx v2.5.4)

View Source

`wxToggleButton` is a button that stays pressed when clicked by the user.

In other words, it is similar to `wxCheckBox` in functionality but looks like a `wxButton`.

Since wxWidgets version 2.9.0 this control emits an update UI event.

You can see `wxToggleButton` in action in page_samples_widgets.

See:

- `wxCheckBox`

- `wxButton`

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

- `wxControl`

- `wxWindow`

- `wxEvtHandler`
