Following a recent post about Gtk::Button and changing its state to
depressed and redrawing with different colours, I wrote the code as
below. I can initially set the colour when creating the button, but
I don't seem to be able to change its colour later - see set_color().
Any ideas on how I can force the button to redraw itself with new color?
Thanks.

#include <iostream>
#include <gtkmm.h>

namespace Gtk
{
        class DepressedToggleButton : public Gtk::ToggleButton
        {
        public:
                DepressedToggleButton() : color(Gdk::Color("grey")) {}
                DepressedToggleButton(Gdk::Color c) : color(c) {}
                ~DepressedToggleButton() {}

                void set_color(Gdk::Color c) 
                { 
                        color = c;
                        modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_INSENSITIVE, color);
                        queue_draw(); // need to force the button to
redraw with new color - HOW?!? }

                Gdk::Color get_color()
                {
                        return color;
                }

        protected:
                virtual bool on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose* event);
                Gdk::Color color;
        };

        bool DepressedToggleButton::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose*
event) {
                modify_bg(Gtk::STATE_INSENSITIVE, color);
                return Gtk::Widget::on_expose_event(event);
        }
}

class TestButton : public Gtk::Window
{
public:
        TestButton();
        ~TestButton();

protected:
        void HandleButton(int i);

        Gtk::VBox m_VBox;
        Gtk::HButtonBox m_HButtonBox;
        Gtk::DepressedToggleButton m_DepressedToggleButton[3];

private:
        bool state;
};

TestButton::TestButton() :
        state(false)
{
        set_title("DepressedToggleButton");
        add(m_VBox);

        m_HButtonBox.set_border_width(5);
        m_HButtonBox.set_layout(Gtk::BUTTONBOX_END);
        m_HButtonBox.set_spacing(5);

        m_DepressedToggleButton[0].set_label("First");
        m_DepressedToggleButton[0].set_color(Gdk::Color("red"));
        m_DepressedToggleButton[1].set_label("Second");
        m_DepressedToggleButton[1].set_color(Gdk::Color("blue"));
        m_DepressedToggleButton[2].set_label("Third");
        m_DepressedToggleButton[2].set_color(Gdk::Color("green"));

        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
                m_DepressedToggleButton[i].signal_clicked().connect(
                        sigc::bind<int>(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&TestButton::HandleButton), i)); m_HButtonBox.add
(m_DepressedToggleButton[i]); }

        m_VBox.pack_start(m_HButtonBox, Gtk::BUTTONBOX_END, 0);

        set_resizable(false);
        show_all_children();
}

TestButton::~TestButton()
{
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        Gtk::Main app(argc, argv);

        TestButton test;
        Gtk::Main::run(test);
        return 0;
}


void TestButton::HandleButton(int i)
{
        std::cout << "Button " << i << " clicked!\n";
}
