I have a quick question about buttons that toggle between two states. (Think Play/Pause, or Shuffle/Regular Play.) As the title says, should the toggle show it's current state or the state to which...

Buttons/switches trigger an immediate action, whereas checkboxes usually do not (such as on a settings page, where no changes are applied unless you click “save”).
Toggle buttons are not normal buttons, they are toggles. Which have the same functionality as check boxes. They are a toggle between 2 states. The only difference is visual.
If they toggle more than 2 states, (like a discrete slider), it is the same as a drop-down menu.
Some widgets are the exact same as others, where the only difference is their visual representation.

Never said nothing about a button. Toggles are just check boxes with a different aspect.
EDIT: the thread is actually about actual buttons. Maybe should’ve clicked on the link where it explains what he means by “toggle button”.
