Toggle Button
The Toggle Button when clicked provides input to an application. The control represents a mutually exclusive toggle state.
Details
The following screen shot illustrates the Ribbon Toggle Button.
Toggle Button Properties
The Ribbon framework defines a collection of property keys for the Toggle Button control.
Typically, a Toggle Button property is updated in the ribbon UI by invalidating the Command associated with the control through a call to the IUIFramework::InvalidateUICommand method. The invalidation event is handled, and the property updates defined, by the IUICommandHandler::UpdateProperty callback method.
The IUICommandHandler::UpdateProperty callback method is not executed, and the application queried for an updated property value, until the property is required by the framework. For example, when a tab is activated and a control revealed in the ribbon UI, or when a tooltip is displayed.
Note
In some cases, a property can be retrieved through the IUIFramework::GetUICommandProperty method and set with the IUIFramework::SetUICommandProperty method.
The following table lists the property keys that are associated with the Toggle Button control.
| Property Key | Notes |
|---|---|
| UI_PKEY_BooleanValue | Supports IUIFramework::GetUICommandProperty and IUIFramework::SetUICommandProperty. Note: If the Command associated with the control is invalidated through a call to IUIFramework::InvalidateUICommand, the framework queries this property when UI_INVALIDATIONS_VALUE is passed as the value of flags. |
