## Description

A GtkToggleToolButton is a GtkToolItem that contains a toggle button.

## Details

### GtkToggleToolButton

    typedef struct _GtkToggleToolButton GtkToggleToolButton;

The GtkToggleToolButton struct contains only private data and should only be accessed through the functions described below.

### gtk_toggle_tool_button_new ()

    GtkToolItem *       gtk_toggle_tool_button_new          (void);

Returns a new GtkToggleToolButton

Returns : | a newly created GtkToggleToolButton

Since 2.4

### gtk_toggle_tool_button_new_from_stock ()

    GtkToolItem *       gtk_toggle_tool_button_new_from_stock
                                                            (const gchar *stock_id);

Creates a new GtkToggleToolButton containing the image and text from a stock item. Some stock ids have preprocessor macros like GTK_STOCK_OK and GTK_STOCK_APPLY.

It is an error if `stock_id` is not a name of a stock item.

`stock_id` : | the name of the stock item
Returns : | A new GtkToggleToolButton

Since 2.4

### gtk_toggle_tool_button_set_active ()

    void                gtk_toggle_tool_button_set_active   (GtkToggleToolButton *button,
                                                             gboolean is_active);

Sets the status of the toggle tool button. Set to `TRUE` if you want the GtkToggleButton to be 'pressed in', and `FALSE` to raise it. This action causes the toggled signal to be emitted.

`button` : | a GtkToggleToolButton
`is_active` : | whether `button` should be active

Since 2.4

### gtk_toggle_tool_button_get_active ()

    gboolean            gtk_toggle_tool_button_get_active   (GtkToggleToolButton *button);

Queries a GtkToggleToolButton and returns its current state. Returns `TRUE` if the toggle button is pressed in and `FALSE` if it is raised.

`button` : | a GtkToggleToolButton
Returns : | `TRUE` if the toggle tool button is pressed in, `FALSE` if not

Since 2.4

## Property Details

### The `"active"` property

      "active"                   gboolean              : Read / Write

Emitted whenever the toggle tool button changes state.

`toggle_tool_button` : | the object that emitted the signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
