# cp.ui.DisclosureTriangle

Disclosure Triangle UI Module.

This represents an hs.axuielement with a AXDisclosureTriangle role. It allows checking and modifying the opened status like so:

myButton:opened() == true			-- happens to be opened already
myButton:opened(false) == false	-- update to unopened.
myButton.opened:toggle() == true	-- toggled back to being opened.

You can also call instances of DisclosureTriangle as a function, which will return the opened status:

myButton() == true			-- still true
myButton(false) == false	-- now false
