Button to Toggle Filter Widget On/Off

Question

I need to toggle a Filter widget on and off but need styling and dynamic content in the label, which the filter widget itself does not provide. This is to allow the user to see the number of Clubs, for example (Clubs: 2,368), and choose to remove clubs from the map and keep the other options (e.g. Trails, Facilities).

I'm trying to do this with Button widgets. I can easily configure one to turn the Clubs off, but cannot get it to turn them back on. If I use a separate Button for 'On', they seem to conflict and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

@TonghuiMing Thanks again. I'm on AGOL and essentially I need styling and dynamic text. I need a pretty button with text e.g. Clubs: 2,467 (where the number is dynamic) that, when the user clicks, they can remove, or re-add, Clubs from the map and other elements. I need similar for Trails and Facilities. I know I can partially style a filter widget but not enough and no dynamic text ...

@DarraghOSullivan What confuses me is that, if you're using a Filter widget, then there is always a method of activation (either toggle, button, or auto-applied), which seems to fail your expected scenarios (dynamic display). Are you using this button widget to control the toggle on/off state of the toggle inside a filter widget panel? Or are you trying to discard the Filter widget directly and achieve data source filtering by solely using a Button widget? Or, are you using a dev edition custom widget to achieve that?

Thanks @TonghuiMing In this case it's a simple filter widget with one item and one clause. I can think of other scenarios (potentially coming soon!) that may require a specific filter among several in a widget to be toggled on/off. But I'd be happy to have a solution for the simplest case first ...
