Switch (lv_switch)
Overview
Switch Widgets look like little sliders and are used to display, and optionally modify, a value that can be "on" or "off".
By default, a Switch is oriented horizontally. It's orientation will be vertical
if you set width
< height
.
Parts and Styles
LV_PART_MAIN
Switch's background; uses the typical background style properties.padding
makes the indicator smaller in the respective direction.LV_PART_INDICATOR
The indicator that shows the current state of the Switch; also uses the typical background style properties.LV_PART_KNOB
A rectangle (or circle) drawn at the left or right side of the indicator; also uses the typical background style properties to modify the knob's appearance. By default, the knob is round (radius-style can modify this) with diameter slightly smaller than the smaller side of the slider. The knob can be made larger with thepadding
values. Padding values can be asymmetric as well.
Usage
Change state
The Switch uses the standard LV_STATE_CHECKED
state.
To get the current state of the Switch (with true
being on), use
lv_obj_has_state(widget, LV_STATE_CHECKED).
Call lv_obj_add_state(widget, LV_STATE_CHECKED) to turn it on, or lv_obj_remove_state(widget, LV_STATE_CHECKED) to turn it off programmatically.
Change orientation
Swith a Switch is created, its default orientation is
LV_SWITCH_ORIENTATION_AUTO
, which causes it to be oriented based
on width
and height
. You can change this behavior using
lv_switch_set_orientation(widget, orientation). Possible values for
orientation
are:
Events
LV_EVENT_VALUE_CHANGED
Sent when Switch changes state.
