How to Customize WinForms Toggle Button Styling
18 Nov 201824 minutes to read
You can customize the appearance of the WinForms Toggle Button by using the IToggleButtonRenderer. The following code example illustrates how to achieve an iOS-platform look-alike of the control.
StyledRenderer styleRenderer1 = new StyledRenderer();
toggleButton1.Renderer = styleRenderer1;
public class StyledRenderer : IToggleButtonRenderer
{
private ToggleButton toggleButton;
public void DrawButton(PaintEventArgs e, ToggleButtonState toggleState, DisplayType displayMode, Font font, ActiveStateCollection activeState, InactiveStateCollection inactiveState, RightToLeft righttoLeft, bool isMouseHover, ToggleButton toggleButton)
{
string displaytext = toggleState == ToggleButtonState.Active ? activeState.Text : inactiveState.Text;
SizeF textsize = e.Graphics.MeasureString(displaytext, font);
Rectangle controlrect = new Rectangle(e.ClipRectangle.X+1, e.ClipRectangle.Y+1, e.ClipRectangle.Width - 4, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 4);
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath();
using (LinearGradientBrush br = new LinearGradientBrush(e.ClipRectangle, ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#007feb"), ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#51a7f2"), LinearGradientMode.Vertical))
{
if (controlrect.Height > 1)
{
gp.AddArc(controlrect.X, controlrect.Y, controlrect.Height, controlrect.Height, 180, 90);
gp.AddArc(controlrect.X + controlrect.Width - controlrect.Height, controlrect.Y, controlrect.Height, controlrect.Height, 270, 90);
gp.AddArc(controlrect.X + controlrect.Width - controlrect.Height, controlrect.Y + controlrect.Height - controlrect.Height, controlrect.Height, controlrect.Height, 0, 90);
