A data-aware toggle switch editor.

Declaration

TdxDBToggleSwitch = class(
    TdxCustomToggleSwitch

Remarks

A toggle switch is a touch-friendly equivalent of a check box. Three available thumb positions in a toggle switch editor correspond to checked, unchecked, and intermediate states of a check box editor.

VCL Editors Library: A Toggle Switch Example

Users can drag the thumb, click the editor, or press the Space character when the editor has focus to switch between available check states.

Main API Members

The list below outlines key members of the TdxToggleSwitch class. These members allow you to configure toggle switch editors.

Appearance Settings

Style | StyleDisabled | StyleFocused | StyleHot | StyleReadOnly: Allow you to define individual appearance settings for different editor states.

Tip
To apply the same style settings to multiple editors, use a TcxEditStyleController component. If you need to apply the same style settings to all editors in your application, you can use a TcxDefaultEditStyleController component.
Styles: Provides access to individual styles applied to the editor in different states.
Transparent: Specifies if the editor is transparent in GDI render mode.

Checked | State: Specify the toggle switch editor’s state.

Note
The intermediate editor state is available only if the Properties.AllowGrayed property is set to True.
DataBinding: Allows you to bind the toggle switch editor to data.
EditValue: Specifies the edit value.
OnEditing: Allows you to prevent users from activating the editor.

Editor Settings and Repository Items

ActiveProperties: Provides access to the current editor settings regardless of their source. This property set does not allow you to customize editor settings.
GetPropertiesClass: Returns the actual editor settings type.
Properties: Allows you to customize editor settings directly if the editor does not have an assigned repository item.
RepositoryItem: Specifies a repository item as an external source of editor settings. A repository item has priority over other editor settings.

General-Purpose API Members

Enabled: Specifies if the editor is enabled.
CanModify: Identifies if the editor is in read-only mode.
IsEditValidating | IsHiding | IsPosting: Allow you to identify the current operation in the editor.
ShowHint: Specifies if the editor can display hints.
Width | Height: Allow you to explicitly define editor dimensions.

Repository Item Class

You can create a TcxEditRepositoryToggleSwitchItem component in an edit repository to define an unbound toggle switch editor, store editor settings, and share them between multiple toggle switch editors.

Limitations

You cannot use a data-aware toggle switch editor as an in-place editor in container controls. You can embed only the TdxToggleSwitch component as an in-place editor.
