Detailed Description

The Switch type provides a Sailfish-styled toggle button with an icon.

Here is a simple Switch:

 import QtQuick 2.2
 import Sailfish.Silica 1.0

 Column {
     Switch {
         id: mute
         icon.source: "mute.png"
     }
     Label {
         text: "The sound is " + (mute.checked ? "off" : "on")
     }
 }

Switch inherits the QtQuick MouseArea type, so any properties, signals and methods of MouseArea are also available to Switch objects. See the MouseArea documentation for its full list of available properties, signals and methods.

See also Button, IconButton, and TextSwitch.

Property Documentation

automaticCheck : bool

If true, the Switch is automatically toggled between the checked and unchecked states when clicked. The default value is true.

If automaticCheck is false, the user must handle the clicked() signal and set the value of checked appropriately. This is primarily useful when the switch is connected to an external state that cannot be simply bound to the checked properly.

See also checked.


busy : bool

This property holds whether the Switch is in a busy state. When busy the indicator will flash and the Switch will be disabled. The busy state is useful when applying a change to a setting does not happen instantaneously.


checked : bool

This property holds whether the Switch is checked. Clicking on the switch toggles checked between true and false.


down : bool

This property is true while the button is pressed and the touch position remains within the button area.


highlighted : bool

This property determines whether the switch is shown highlighted. By default it is bound to down.


icon : Image

The image shown within the button.
