This adapter holds two values that represent the selected and the deselected state. These are used to determine the selection state if the underlying subject ValueModel changes its value. If the selection is set, the corresponding representant is written to the underlying ValueModel.

Constraints: The subject ValueModel must allow read-access to its value. Also, it is strongly recommended (though not required) that the underlying ValueModel provides only two values, for example Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE. This is so because the toggle button component may behave "strangely" when it is used with ValueModels that provide more than two elements.

Examples:

 // Recommended binding style using a factory
 ValueModel model = presentationModel.getModel(MyBean.PROPERTYNAME_VISIBLE);
 JCheckBox visibleBox = BasicComponentFactory.createCheckBox(model, "Visible");
 // Binding using the Bindings class
 ValueModel model = presentationModel.getModel(MyBean.PROPERTYNAME_VISIBLE);
 JCheckBox visibleBox = new JCheckBox("Visible");
 Bindings.bind(visibleBox, model);
 // Hand-made binding
 ValueModel model = presentationModel.getModel(MyBean.PROPERTYNAME_VISIBLE);
 JCheckBox visibleBox = new JCheckBox("Visible");
 visibleBox.setModel(new ToggleButtonAdapter(model));
