Re: toggle switch
You could use a check box with a "push like" style set. You'd have to do
something to do the graphics.
This button might work for you as well.

I am new to MFC and new to GUIs in Microsoft Visual Studio.
With that being said, I am trying to implement a simple toggle switch
(like a light switch) in a dialog box. I have a bitmap for the on and
off state of this toggle switch. If the switch starts in the off
position when I press the bitmap, I would like the switch to toggle to
the on position, when pressed again the switch would switch back to the
off position. Also, of course, I would like to execute some code when
the switch is flipped from off to on, on to off.
What classes or tools from the toolbox would you suggest I use to
tackle this problem? I've already tried to use buttons unsuccessfully.
I tried using the CBitmapButton class - which I thought would switch
between the two states. It does, but only if I keep the mouse pressed
down on the button.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
