Comments on: Toggling buttons in a ToggleButtonBar control in Flex http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/01/21/toggling-buttons-in-a-togglebuttonbar-control-in-flex/ Just a bunch of Adobe Flex Examples Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:26:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Max http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/01/21/toggling-buttons-in-a-togglebuttonbar-control-in-flex/comment-page-1/#comment-7099 Max Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:07:33 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/01/21/toggling-buttons-in-a-togglebuttonbar-control-in-flex/#comment-7099 It seems to be a bug, when you set your ToggleButtonBar's selectedIndex to -1 within the ToggleButtonBar tag it will register as 0 when you run the app. I found a fix: When you initialize your app, run a method with the following actionScript: this.toggleButtonBar.selectedIndex = -1; That will deselect the button. You can take it one step further and hide your viewStack by making it visible ONLY when this.toggleButtonBar.selectedIndex != -1 by adding it to the viewStack tag: mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" visible="{this.toggleButton.selectedIndex != -1}" Hope that helps.

Eric, When the toggleOnClick CheckBox is deselected, clicking an already selected button has no effect and the <code>selectedIndex</code> doesn't change. When the toggleOnClick CheckBox is selected, clicking an already selected button sets the <code>selectedIndex</code> property to -1. I'll try and get that SWF up right now...

Eric,

I’ll try and get that SWF up right now…

What should I be seeing? I’m not sure that I see any difference between when the checkBox is selected or not. What should I be seeing?
