In the previous step, you added some content to the control. In this step, you'll add some code to show a message when the switch is tapped, or turned on and off.
1. In Design view, select the control and select View | Properties from the Visual Studio menu.
2. In the Properties window, click the Events tab.
3. Next to the Checked event, enter C1ToggleSwitch1_Checked. An event is created in the code.
4. Enter the following code for the event. The code will show a message that the switch is off when tapped.
private void C1ToggleSwitch1_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Home Security System is now OFF.");
C1ToggleSwitch1.Content = "Security System is OFF.";
}
5. Go back to the Visual Studio designer and locate the Unchecked event.
6. Enter the following code for the event. The code will show a message that the switch is on when tapped.
private void C1ToggleSwitch1_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Home Security System is now ON.");
C1ToggleSwitch1.Content = "Security System is ON.";
}
Now run the application to see what happens when the switch is tapped.
