I'm using an ActionDelegate to catch the press/unpress of a toggle
button. I see that the runWithEvent method fires every time you
press/unpress the toggle button. I've inspected the "event" item and
see that the "widget" in the event has a "data" item that has a property
called "checkedState", which appears to indicate if the button is
depressed or undepressed. I am unable to determine how to access this
property. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't worked with ActionDelegates much but runWithEvent has an
IAction parameter. Have you tried action.isChecked()?

Regards,
Ben

Ben,

thanks for the info but action.isChecked() always returns false,
regardless of the state of the button (press/unpress).
