I see how to set a toolbar item’s pushed state via the IDE, but how do I set it via code? I have checked the documentation but didn’t find anything that would point me in the right direction. To clarify: I’m speaking specifically of the pushed state of toggle buttons in a toolbar. Thanks. ---

```auto WebToolbarButton.Toggled = Not WebToolbarButton.Toggled ``` ---

That appears to be only for web-based forms and I’m coding a desktop app. I should have clarified that. Sorry. ---

This code will push a toggle button on a desktop toolbar. I just put it in the Open event handler of the Toolbar on the window: ```auto ToolButton(Me.Item(0)).Pushed = True ``` ---

```auto ToolButton.Pushed = Not ToolButton.Pushed ``` It must have a Style of ToolStyleToggleButton. ---

Ah… thanks for the info. Just tried it out and it worked exactly as I expected. Much appreciated. ---

Does this not work for Cocoa builds? It seems to not have any effect on the toolbutton when setting the style to ToolStyleToggleButton and the pushed to true. ---

It looks like the Pushed property in the Inspector is not doing anything. Setting it via code (see posts above) seems to work fine, though. ---
