## Detailed Description

An abstract base class for radio buttons and check boxes.

A toggle button provides a button with a boolean state (checked or unchecked), and a text label.

To act on a change of the state, either connect a slot to the changed() signal, or connect a slot to the checked() or unChecked() signals.

The current state (checked or unchecked) may be inspected using the isChecked() method.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ WAbstractToggleButton()

Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::WAbstractToggleButton | ( | const WString & | text | ) |
| protected

Creates an unchecked toggle button with given text label.

The text label is rendered to the right side of the button.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ checked()

EventSignal & Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::checked | ( |  | ) |

Signal emitted when the button gets checked.

This signal is emitted when the user checks the button.

You can use the changed() signal to react when the user makes any change to the button state.

## ◆ getStateless()

virtual WStatelessSlot * Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::getStateless | ( | Method | method | ) |
| overrideprotectedvirtual

On-demand stateless slot implementation.

This method returns a stateless slot implementation for the given `method`. To avoid the cost of declaring methods to be stateless when they are not used, you may reimplement this method to provide a stateless implementation for a method only when the method is involved in a slot connection.

Use implementStateless() to provide a stateless implementation of the given `method`, or return the base class implementation otherwise.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

## ◆ isChecked()

bool Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::isChecked | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the button state.

See also
  setChecked()

## ◆ refresh()

virtual void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::refresh | ( |  | ) |
| overridevirtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note
  This does not rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

## ◆ setChecked() [1/2]

virtual void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setChecked | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Checks the button.

Does not emit the checked() signal.

See also
  setChecked(bool)

## ◆ setChecked() [2/2]

void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setChecked | ( | bool | checked | ) |

Sets the button state.

This method does not emit one of the checked() or unChecked() signals.

See also
  setChecked(), setUnChecked()

## ◆ setText()

void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setText | ( | const WString & | text | ) |

Sets the label text.

The label is rendered to the right of the button.

## ◆ setTextFormat()

bool Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setTextFormat | ( | TextFormat | format | ) |

Sets the text format.

The textFormat controls how the string should be interpreted: either as plain text, which is displayed literally, or as XHTML-markup.

When changing the textFormat to Wt::TextFormat::XHTML, and the current text is literal (not created using WString::tr()), the current text is parsed using an XML parser which discards malicious tags and attributes silently. When the parser encounters an XML parse error, the textFormat is left unchanged, and this method returns false.

Returns whether the textFormat could be set for the current text.

The default format is Wt::TextFormat::Plain.

## ◆ setUnChecked()

virtual void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setUnChecked | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Unchecks the button.

Does not emit the unChecked() signal.

See also
  setChecked(bool)

## ◆ setValueText()

virtual void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setValueText | ( | const WString & | text | ) |
| overridevirtual

Sets the current value.

This interprets text values of "yes", "maybe" or "no".

Implements Wt::WFormWidget.

## ◆ setWordWrap()

void Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::setWordWrap | ( | bool | wordWrap | ) |

Configures word wrapping.

When `wordWrap` is `true`, the widget may break lines, creating a multi-line text. When `wordWrap` is `false`, the text will displayed on a single line, unless the text contains end-of-lines (for Wt::TextFormat::Plain) or <br /> tags or other block-level tags (for Wt::TextFormat::XHTML).

The default value is `false`.

See also
  wordWrap()

## ◆ text()

const WString Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::text | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the label text.

See also
  setText()

## ◆ textFormat()

TextFormat Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::textFormat | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the text format.

See also
  setTextFormat()

## ◆ unChecked()

EventSignal & Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::unChecked | ( |  | ) |

Signal emitted when the button gets un-checked.

This signal is emitted when the user unchecks the button.

You can use the changed() signal to react when the user makes any change to the button state.

Remarks
  This signal is not emitted for WRadioButton. In this case a button can only be unchecked because another button is checked. The browser will only generate an event for the button which was checked. Since EventSignal mirrors browser events, Wt will also not emit this signal. The function WButtonGroup::checkedChanged() might be easier to use in this case.

## ◆ valueText()

virtual WString Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::valueText | ( |  | ) | const
| overridevirtual

Returns the current value.

Returns "yes" when checked, "maybe" when partially checked, and "no" when unchecked.

Implements Wt::WFormWidget.

## ◆ wordWrap()

bool Wt::WAbstractToggleButton::wordWrap | ( |  | ) | const

Returns whether word wrapping is on.

  setWordWrap()
