Use the Measurement Studio switch and LED controls as Boolean controls
on a Windows Forms user interface. You typically use a switch control,
as shown in Figure 2-5, to receive and control Boolean input on an
application user interface.

With the switch and LED controls and the classes that interface with the
controls, you can perform the following operations:
• Receive notification before or after the state of the control changes.
• Configure how the control behaves when you click it with the mouse
or press the spacebar when the control has focus.
• Configure the appearance of the control.
• Make the control background transparent.
• Configure the LED control to blink while it is on or off and configure
the rate at which the LED control blinks.
