By default, the switch is off and this property is \c false. +It can be used to activate/disactivate the switch or to query its current state. + +In this example: + +\qml +Switch { id: mySwitch; on: true } +Text { text: "The switch is on"; visible: mySwitch.on == true } +\endqml + +the text will only be visible when the switch is on. + +\section2 Images and user interaction +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/content/Switch.qml 4 + +First, we create the background image of the switch. +In order for the switch to toggle when the user clicks on the background, we add a \l{MouseRegion} as a child item of the image. +A \c MouseRegion has a \c onClicked property that is triggered when the item is clicked. For the moment we will just call a +\c toggle() function. We will see what this function does in a moment. + +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/content/Switch.qml 5 + +Then, we place the image of the knob on top of the background. +The interaction here is a little more complex. We want the knob to move with the finger when it is clicked. That is what the \c drag +property of the \c MouseRegion is for. We also want to toggle the switch if the knob is released between state. We handle this case +in the \c dorelease() function that is called in the \c onReleased property. + +\section2 States +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/content/Switch.qml 6 + +We define the two states of the switch: +\list +\o In the \e on state the knob is on the right (\c x position is 78) and the \c on property is \c true. +\o In the \e off state the knob is on the left (\c x position is 1) and the \c on property is \c false. +\endlist + +For more information on states see \l{qmlstates}{QML States}. + +\section2 Functions + +We add two JavaScript functions to our switch: + +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/content/Switch.qml 2 + +This first function is called when the background image or the knob are clicked. We simply want the switch to toggle between the two +states (\e on and \e off). + + +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/content/Switch.qml 3 + +This second function is called when the knob is released and we want to make sure that the knob does not end up between states +(neither \e on nor \e off). If it is the case call the \c toggle() function otherwise we do nothing. + +For more information on scripts see \l{qmlecmascript.html}{JavaScript Blocks}. + +\section2 Transition +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/content/Switch.qml 7 + +At this point, when the switch toggles between the two states the knob will instantly change its \c x position between 1 and 78. +In order for the the knob to move smoothly we add a transition that will animate the \c x property with an easing curve for a duration of 200ms. + +For more information on transitions see \l{state-transitions}{QML Transitions}. + +\section1 Usage +The switch can be used in a QML file, like this: +\snippet examples/declarative/slideswitch/slideswitch.qml 0 +*/ |
