Indicator

An Indicator is a visual element that shows the current fixed state of a State Indicator control. This state is specified by the StateIndicator.StateIndex property.

When the current state index is changed, a State Indicator automatically displays another image that corresponds to the current state.

The appearance of a State Indicator depends on the current image, enumerated by the StateIndicatorShapeType type. This type can be accessed via the StateIndicator.States collection.

The following images show different shape types of state indicators.
