hmtoggle_plus0Use as a switch

2D shape controls have a SwitchValue property that switches between ON/OFF when pressed with the mouse.

 

1) When the value changes, the OnSwitchChanged event occurs.

2) You can bind a tag to SwitchValue to set the tag's value to ON (TRUE) or /OFF (FALSE).

3) The SwitchType property determines how the SwitchValue changes when the mouse is pressed. The SwitchType property can be selected from the following five types.
