Switch

The Switch component lets you  use conditional logic to execute automation events. For example, use this Switch to trigger specific events based on the index of the toolbar button selected.

Note: A Switch statement can only work with input types that can be edited, such as strings, integers, enumerations (like BorderStyle). For example, connecting the SelectedItem property from a list box to the input of a Switch fails because the SelectedItem property is of type object and has no editor.

For more information, see General Component Properties, Methods, and Events.
