Is it possible to create a toggle button in C# WinForms? I know that you can use a CheckBox control and set it's Appearance property to "Button", but it doesn't look right. I want it to appear sunken, not flat, when pressed. Any thoughts?

You can just use a CheckBox and set its appearance to Button:

CheckBox checkBox = new System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox(); 
checkBox.Appearance = System.Windows.Forms.Appearance.Button;
