ToggleButton widgets are a cross between Button and Checkbox widgets. They are created like Button widgets, but like CheckBox widgets, they maintain a checked boolean attribute (settable/gettable) that toggles on each click action. Unlike CheckBox widgets however, ToggleButton widgets do not submit any value on FORM submit. They are used solely for client-side processing where the user can toggle between 2 states before performing some additional action. While checked, each of the widget’s CSS class names are appended with “Checked” and injected into the CSS class list.
