togglebutton

I am looking to add a single toggle button to a windows form that is not part of a toolbar.  Is there a stand alone togglebutton control that can be used (ie not a toolbar button)

    CheckBox with Appearance=Button.

    you can't add a checkbox to a toolstrip control (as far as I am aware)

    Using VS05:
    The checkbox with the appearance set to 'button' will toggle for you...and you can place this anywhere on you form and use the 'checkedchanged' event to execute your code against user clicks

    On the toolstrip you can add a normal button - set it DisplayType to image and then set its checked property

    Private Sub ToolStripButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton1.Click

    Me.ToolStripButton1.Checked = Not Me.ToolStripButton1.Checked

    If Me.ToolStripButton1.Checked Then
       Me.ToolStripButton1.Image = My.Resources.CLIP01
    Else
       Me.ToolStripButton1.Image = My.Resources._35FLOPPY
    End If

    End Sub


    This would give a togglable button in a toolstrip. I've also used the nice My.Resources to check the button image depending upon state which further highlights the toggle state.
