Toggle button can be used in many ways. It shows
visually that if its in a selected state or not as well as you can get or
set the state of the button programmatically using the "selected" property
of the button. It returns true if the toggle button is selected and false
if its not selected.
I don't have really good use case off hand but for eg. say
you are creating a really simple math app with four buttons for addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division with two input text boxes and a result
textbox. If you use the toggle buttons instead of normal buttons user will know
by looking at the button state the result in the result box is the output of
which mathematical function.
