Bunifu Toggle Switch

Easily add stylish ON and OFF states to your user interface using Bunifu Toggle Switch.

Overview

Bunifu Toggle Switch Button control is a rich two-state button, perfect for when you need to provide the user with an option to flip a switch. It has highly customizable toggle settings and features such as animations that will blend into the look and feel of your WinForms application.

Getting Started

This section describes how to include Bunifu Toggle Switches in both the design and coding environments.

Adding Bunifu Toggle Switch at design time

Bunifu Toggle Switch can be added to the form by simply locating or searching BunifuToggleSwitch control in your toolbox and dragging it onto your form. You can then customize using the custom properties provided. We'll discuss the various features in greater detail later in this documentation.

Adding Bunifu Toggle Switch at Runtime

To add Bunifu Toggle Switch at runtime we will have to use the Form's Load event handler, where we'll create an instance of BunifuToggleSwitch control and add it to the form as shown below.:

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Instatiate Bunifu Toggle Switch control using Bunifu.UI.WinForms
    BunifuToggleSwitch toggleSwitch = new BunifuToggleSwitch();
    //Set the location for the toggle switch
    toggleSwitch.Location = new Point(330, 170);
    //set the thumb color for the switch on toggle state on
    toggleSwitch.ToggleStateOn.BackColorInner = Color.White;
    //set the back color for the switch on toggle state on
    toggleSwitch.ToggleStateOn.BackColor = Color.DodgerBlue;
    //add the toggle switch to the form
    this.Controls.Add(toggleSwitch);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
	'Instatiate Bunifu Toggle Switch control using Bunifu.UI.WinForms
	Dim toggleSwitch As New BunifuToggleSwitch()
	'Set the location for the toggle switch
	toggleSwitch.Location = New Point(330, 170)
	'set the thumb color for the switch on toggle state on
	toggleSwitch.ToggleStateOn.BackColorInner = Color.White
	'set the back color for the switch on toggle state on
	toggleSwitch.ToggleStateOn.BackColor = Color.DodgerBlue
	'add the toggle switch to the form
	Me.Controls.Add(toggleSwitch)
End Sub

Let's deep dive and get insights into the available properties on Bunifu Toggle Switch.

Animation

This property makes sliding and a bounce effect to the switch when switching states. It sets a numeric value that sets the animation speed.

Checked

This property sets a boolean value, which determines the toggle state of the control. When the property is set to true, it sets the toggle switch in an On state.

The property is used in conjuction with the CheckedChanged event which fires whenever the toggle state changes. Here's a code snippet that displays a snackbar whenever the state changes

C#

private void bunifuToggleSwitch1_CheckedChanged(object sender, Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuToggleSwitch.CheckedChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Checked)
    {
        bunifuSnackbar1.Show(this, "Option set to On!");
    }
    else
    {
        bunifuSnackbar1.Show(this, "Option set to Off!");
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub bunifuToggleSwitch1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Bunifu.UI.WinForms.BunifuToggleSwitch.CheckedChangedEventArgs)
	If e.Checked Then
		bunifuSnackbar1.Show(Me, "Option set to On!")
	Else
		bunifuSnackbar1.Show(Me, "Option set to Off!")
	End If
End Sub
