Overview

Used to programatically set the state of a SwitchWidget. This also changes the state of the switch visually.

Syntax

object:setState( options )

This function takes a single argument, options, which is a table that accepts the following parameters:

isOn (required)

Boolean. Sets the switch to either on (true) or off (false).

isAnimated (optional)

Boolean. Applies only to switches with style of "onOff". If set to true, the switch will visually animate its state change.

onComplete (optional)

Example

-- Create a default on/off switch
local onOffSwitch = widget.newSwitch
{
    left = 100,
    top = 300,
    initialSwitchState = true
}

local function changeComplete()
    print( "Switch change complete!" )
end

-- Set the on/off switch to off
onOffSwitch:setState( { isOn=false, isAnimated=true, onComplete=changeComplete } )
