uibuttongroup with no buttons selected?

I would like to have a uibuttongroup that contains several togglebutton objects. By default, the uibuttongroup obviously only lets you have one toggle button selected (i.e., pressed) at a time. But I would like the possibility to have none of the buttons pressed. I don't see an obvious way to do that using a uibuttongroup. I fear I'll have to just create the toggle buttons and write the logic that controls the states of the buttons myself.
For example, look at the way the default toolbar works in a matlab figure. There are several buttons (rotate, data cursor, etc), and you can't have more than one pressed at a single time, but you can have none of them selected. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Justin

You can't deselect a radio button though, it isn't like a toggle button so you could never get back into the nothing selected state even if you could initialise that way.

Create one additional button and set its visible property off, and make it the initially selected button.

You could make that extra button visible and label it as "None" or something similar.
uibuttongroup can also manage toggle buttons; you might want to experiment with that.
