XmToggleButtonGadgetSetState(3X)										  XmToggleButtonGadgetSetState(3X)

NAME

       XmToggleButtonGadgetSetState - A ToggleButtonGadget function that sets or changes the current state

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/ToggleBG.h>

       void XmToggleButtonGadgetSetState (widget, state, notify)
	       Widget widget;
	       Boolean state;
	       Boolean notify;

DESCRIPTION

       XmToggleButtonGadgetSetState  sets  or changes the ToggleButtonGadget's current state.  Specifies the ToggleButtonGadget widget ID.  Speci-
       fies a Boolean value that indicates whether the ToggleButtonGadget state is selected or unselected.  If True, the button state is selected;
       if False, the button state is unselected.  Indicates whether XmNvalueChangedCallback is called; it can be either True or False. The XmNval-
       ueChangedCallback is only called when this function changes the state of the ToggleButtonGadget. When this argument is True and the Toggle-
       ButtonGadget  is a child of a RowColumn widget whose XmNradioBehavior is True, setting the ToggleButtonGadget causes other ToggleButton and
       ToggleButtonGadget children of the RowColumn to be unselected.

       For a complete definition of ToggleButtonGadget and its associated resources, see XmToggleButtonGadget(3X).
