An Switch Button is similar to a Check Button.
In fact, it's a Check Box with a customized text for the 2 statuses: on or off. Unlike Check Box, a Switch Button cannot have text besides the already mentioned. You can also link a Switch Button to
the Database. A
Switch Button can interact with the user through its
Events. You can use a Switch Button to display true/false options or
fields.
Value -
Its value is either 1 (on) or 0 (off).

There are two ways of connecting your Input Box to a Database Table therefore presenting the value of a specific Column.
1 –
You can do it by simply defining the "Table" and "Column" properties
and then using the "First Record"/"Last Record"/"Next Record"/"Previous
Record" and "Refresh"/"Refresh Plane"/"Refresh Control" Actions.
2 – The
other way is to implicitly define a "Select" statement. To do so, you
have to define the "Table", "Column", "Where the value of" and "It’s
equal to" properties then use the Refresh", "Refresh Plane" or "Refresh
Control" Action. This way you are telling Kalipso to perform a "Select"
statement like this:
Select <Column> from <Table> where <Where the value
of> = <It’s equal to>

|
Source: Expression
|
|
Fill the Control with the result of – Expression whom result will be shown in the Switch Button
For the Expression to be evaluated and fill the Switch Button you’ll have to
perform a "Refresh", "Refresh Plane" or "Refresh Control" Action. |

Mandatory –
To define if the Input Box must be filled or not when performing a
“Create Record”, “Update Record” or “Create/Update Record” Action.
If this property is set, when Kalipso tries to use the value of this Switch Button for executing one of the above Actions, it checks if the value
is non empty; if it’s not, Kalipso will produce an automatic error
message.
Global Variable – Global Variable where to store the Switch Button value;
Local Variable – Local Variable where to store the Switch Button value;
Database Table – Table where to store the Switch Button value;
Database Column – Column where to store the Switch Button value;
The Switch Button value is retrieved and stored in the corresponding
Database Table and Column when you execute a Create Record”, “Update
Record” or “Create/Update Record” Action on the “Database Table”.
