How to: Create Toggle Buttons in ToolStrip Controls

When a user clicks a toggle button, it appears sunken and retains the sunken appearance until the user clicks the button again.

To create a toggling ToolStripButton

• Use code such as the following code example. This code assumes that your form contains a ToolStrip control, and that its Items collection contains a ToolStripButton called toolStripButton1. It also assumes that you have an event handler called toolStripButton1_CheckedChanged.

  toolStripButton1.CheckOnClick = True
  toolStripButton1.CheckedChanged AddressOf _
  EventHandler(toolStripButton1_CheckedChanged);
  

  toolStripButton1.CheckOnClick = true;
  toolStripButton1.CheckedChanged += new _
  EventHandler(toolStripButton1_CheckedChanged);
