ToggleButton LookAndFeel with Image

[dnaldoog]

Here is a simple example of how to use LookAndFeel to load an image into a uiToggleButton.

If you are in the Americas, just turn your phone or computer upside down .🙃

I found it easier just to use a separate uiLabel instead of positioning text in LookAndFeel.

Look and Feel Toggle Button Image_1_0.zip

lf = LookAndFeel()
lf:setImplementation (lookAndFeelImpl)
panel:getCanvas():setCustomLookAndFeel(lf)


lookAndFeelImpl = {
    drawToggleButton = function(g, toggleButton, isMouseOverButton, isButtonDown)
        if toggleButton:getToggleState() then -- ON
            local ton = resources:getResource("toggon")
            if ton ~= nil then
                ton = ton:asImage()
                g:drawImageAt(ton, 0, 0, false)
            end -- image found

        else -- OFF
            local toff = resources:getResource("toggoff")
            if toff ~= nil then
                toff = toff:asImage()
                g:drawImageAt(toff, 0, 0, false)
            end -- image found
        end
    end

} -- End table

Yeah, I have a helluva time getting the formatting with the component's label Justify/width/height settings sometimes.

nice tip on the LnF Custom Image !

haha.. @dnaldoog .. I wish!.. I jumped into Ctrlr for 18hr/day for 3mo when my contract ended on 1/1 after putting it off for 3-4yrs due to not another f'ing tech stack(C/Lua) so it was a "Now or Never" moment... I didn't even recognize my front yard when I came up for air & no sooner than I came up, the same firm pulled me back under. So while money is coming in, the incessant nagging of The Incomplete Project is unsufferable. Fortunately, I got about 80% of the EMU CS/P2K roughly working & trapped enough notes to be able pick up where I left off without the 90degree learning curve.

I felt bad actually, b/c I'm sure folks were wistfully checking here daily for another installment of my novel-length posts 😂

Yes, checking in to learn new turns of phrase etc ー the incessant nagging phenomenon is a thing for sure. 😺👻
