ToggleButton - how change its state

Hey there,

the ToggleButton is a two-state button that stays down when you push it and is supposed to come up when you push it again!
Or am I mistaken here?

When using a couple of ToggleButtons they do behave like that.
But a single ToggleButton stays pushed; it does not come back up by pushing it again.

I tried using JToggleButton and it is the same beahaviour so I am confused.
Is there any way to use a single ToggleButton like a switch?

'add a ToggleButton and a CommandButton

'when it is down
Public Sub Command1_Click()
     ToggleButton1.Parent.setSelected(False)            'does not push the button
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.doClick()                    'does not push the button
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.getModel.setPressed(False)   'does not push the button
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.getModel.setSelected(False)  'does not push the button
End Sub

'when it is up
'Public Sub Command1_Click()
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.setSelected(True)            'pushes the button
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.doClick()                    'pushes the button
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.getModel.setPressed(True)    'does not push the button
'     ToggleButton1.Parent.getModel.setSelected(True)   'pushes the button
'End Sub

Edit: I'd like to use the ToggleButton like a CheckBox. So I was trying to work with a hidden second ToggleButton but it seems like there is no way to get the first ToggleButton to appear 'unpushed' unless you actually click on second one!?

'requires 2 ToggleButtons, second Button set visible = False

Public Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
   Static blnLast As Boolean = False
   If blnLast = True Then 
      ToggleButton2.Parent.doClick()
      Debug.Print "stopping thread..."
   Else
      Debug.Print "starting thread..."
   End If
   blnLast = ToggleButton1.Value
End Sub


does anyone come up with a single button approach?
