RE: Re: Looking for an "on/off" toggle control

Of course the agw SBitmapToggleButton could be used to provide a non-native switch effect. It would still be a button rather than a switch but with the appropriate bitmaps could give the appearance of just about any switch.

I agree with your links.  That said - all we had was a checkbox or the toggle switch and some how we made due.

the Toggle switch is available.

Also "re-inventing"  - if you are not willing to write a custom widget
then you will either have to wait until some future version that has the
control built-in or make do with the checkbox.  You must be aware that
for many many years the checkbox was all that was available on all
platforms.  It seem to work just fine.  The switch is a new UI
development as are many others.  I happen to like it - but many others I
don't believe add anything other than change for changes sake.  That
said, I believe the current toggle switch conveys the action of being
"on or off" very well.

Both companies suggest that toggle switches have a different purpose from a checkbox, implying both immediate action (as opposed to the selection of a preference) and propagation to other GUI elements, turning on/off a whole category of options and displays for example.
