# NSPushOnPushOffButton

When the button is clicked (on state), it appears illuminated. If the button has borders, it may also appear recessed. A second click returns it to its normal (off) state.

```
static const NSButtonType NSPushOnPushOffButton;
```

## Discussion

This option is called Push On Push Off in Interface Builder’s Button inspector.
