TinyMCE 4 toggle toolbar button state

button, tinymce, toggle, toolbar

Solution

After some fiddling I concluded that the onclick won't do the job here. After hours I ended up with this solution which seams to work nicely in Tinymce 4.x:

/* In the timymce > plugins, name your pluginfolder "my_crazy_plugin" and
plugin file as "plugin.min.js" */

/* Your plugin file: plugin.min.js */
tinymce.PluginManager.add('my_crazy_plugin', function(editor) {
   var state;

   /* Actions to do on button click */
   function my_action() {
        state = !state; /* Switching state */
        editor.fire('mybutton', {state: state});

        if (state){
            alert(state); /* Do your true-stuff here */
        }
        else {
            alert(state); /* Do your false-stuff here */
        }
    }

    function toggleState_MyButton() {
        var self = this;
        editor.on('mybutton', function(e) {
            self.active(e.state);
        });
    }

    /* Adding the button & command */
    editor.addCommand('cmd_mybutton', my_action);

    editor.addButton('mybutton', {
        image: 'tinymce/plugins/my_crazy_plugin/img/some16x16icon.png',
        title: 'That Bubble Help text',
        cmd: 'cmd_mybutton',
        onPostRender: toggleState_MyButton
    });
});


/* Your file with the tinymce init section: */
tinymce.init({
    plugins: [
        "my_crazy_plugin"
        ],
    toolbar: "mybutton"
});

Problem

What is the simplest way to toggle the state of a toolbar button (like it works with the default bold-button)? I can't "get" to that class i Tinymce that changes the button's look from default to selected. This is my plugin code (simplified): ``` tinymce.PluginManager.add('myplugin', function (editor) { editor.addButton('mybutton', { text: false, image: 'someimage.png', onclick: function () { /* Toggle this toolbar button state to selected (like with the tinymce bold-button)*/ /* and of course some other code goes here */ } }); }); ```
