    Hi, I'm observing a strange behaviour with the toggle button (Unity4.6b18).

    I can activate a toggle button with toggle.isOn = true but never deactivate it again. toggle.isOn = false
    just has no effect.

    Is this a bug?

    Hi Thomas,
    I'm using Unity 4.6 b18 too, this code works for me:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. void Start()
    3. {
    4.     var toggle = GetComponent<Toggle>();
    5.  
    6.     if (toggle != null)
    7.         toggle.isOn = false;
    8. }
    9.  
    Could you show your code?

    Using a toggle group will prevent you from setting isOn to false. You can bypass that by doing something like:
    Code (csharp):
    1. Toggle toggle = GetComponent<Toggle>();
    2. ToggleGroup group = toggle.group;
    3. toggle.group = null;
    4. toggle.isOn = false;
    5. toggle.group = group;

    Thats it! My toggle is part of a toggle group and this prevents setting toggle.isOn = false again.
    Is this expected behaviour?

    I think it is expected behavior since toggle groups prevent buttons from being toggled off when you try to click the buttons. It would be nice to have some kinda option to avoid this though.

    There is an option on togglegroup component to "Allow Switch Off". If checked then the toggle that is on can be toggled off, otherwise it can't.
