How to: Create Toggle Buttons in ToolStrip Controls

2025-05-07

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);
```
