-A toggle button is a button which stays down when clicked once and goes up when clicked a second time.

-==When to use==
+{{Note|This page is now on [[https://hig.kde.org/components/editing/togglebutton.html https://hig.kde.org/]]}}
-Use a toggle button to indicate a '''state'''.
-Example: A word processor should use toggle buttons to indicate the state of "Bold", "Italic" or "Underline" formatting.
-==When not to use==
-Do not use a toggle button to indicate an '''action'''.
-Example: A music player should not use a toggle button to implement a Play/Pause button. It should use a normal button and adjust the icon and label to represent the action which would be performed when clicked.
-==Icon and label==
-Never change the icon or label of a toggle button. A toggle button is very similar to a check box. It should thus be used in the same way.
-The fact that it is pressed down is enough to indicate the current state of the element it represents.
