Namespace:  System.Windows.Automation
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration ToggleState

public enum ToggleState

Members

	Member name	Description
	Off	The UI automation element is not selected, checked, marked, or otherwise activated.
	On	The UI automation element is selected, checked, marked, or otherwise activated.
	Indeterminate	The UI automation element is in an indeterminate state.

Remarks

A control must cycle through its ToggleState in this order:

1. On

2. Off

3. Indeterminate (if supported)

The Indeterminate value can be used to indicate whether the user has acted on a control. For example, a check box can be displayed as both checked and dimmed, which indicates an indeterminate state.

Creating an indeterminate state is different from disabling the control. Consequently, a check box in the indeterminate state can still receive the focus. When the user clicks an indeterminate control, the ToggleState value cycles to the next value.
