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.

Properties

Property	Description
Input	Supplies the value used in the comparison and evaluation of the cases.

Events

Event	Description
Cases	An event is created for each case that you define for the switch. To add a case, click the plus sign on the design block. Type a value or string to which you want to compare the input. The case that matches the input is fired when the Execute method is triggered. If none of the cases match the input, the default event fires.
Default	This event fires when none of the cases match the input.
