  All I wanted was a TOGGLE button like I can ask for in GadToolsBox. However,
after generating the source from gtb, I find my toggler buttons don't TOGGLE!
Looking in my RKM I find that TOGGLE GadTools buttons DON'T EXIST.
  Searching through the GadToolsBox source, I find the ExtNewGadget structure
that is used to implement the toggle buttons. It's not documented anywhere..
just stated by the author of the software that it's how the new gadget data is
stored. If this is a private system structure, I'd like to know so I go no
further down that alley.
  If anyone has any LEGAL way of implementing a toggle button (no.. I don't
want a checkbox) using GadTools library, then PLEASE mail (or post) me. If I
have to go down to basic Intuition (or even.. boopsi) then I suppose I will,
but I'd really rather not.

  Thankyou,
     Richard.
