|phoenix_title| **wx.ToggleButton**
==========================================================================================================================================
:ref:`wx.ToggleButton` is a button that stays pressed when clicked by the user.
In other words, it is similar to :ref:`wx.CheckBox` in functionality but looks like a :ref:`wx.Button`.
Since wxWidgets version 2.9.0 this control emits an update UI event.
You can see :ref:`wx.ToggleButton` in action in :ref:`Widgets Sample <widgets sample>`.
.. _ToggleButton-events:
|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

- EVT_TOGGLEBUTTON: Handles a wxEVT_TOGGLEBUTTON event.
