THE TOGGLEBUTTONPLUS WIDGET
 
 
 
  • Can't your customers tell the difference between a square shaped and a diamond shaped indicator toggle buttons usually display?
  • Or can't your customers distinguish when an indicator is in the "on" state?
  • Can't you bear the toggle button's outer appearance (hehehe)?
Here you can get a little add-on which should solve all this problems. Instead of creating ToggleButton widgets with 
 widget = XmCreateToggleButton(parent_widget, "name",
 Args, NumArgs);
you simply use 
 widget = XmCreateToggleButtonPlus(parent_widget, "name",
 Args, NumArgs);
instead. This will create a toggle button widget and modify some of its resources and translations such that the desired effect can be achieved. The picture at the top of this page shows how the new toggle button widgets look like. 

Here you can take a look at the online documentation (contained in the file ToggleBplus.doc). 
And here you can get the source of the ToggleBplus package.
