Toggle

[Basicgear]

Im brand spankin new to C# but did only a bit of console work with C++ in high school.

I am working with the form application walk through and decided to try a few things. I want to have a check box toggle the background of the form between red and blue.

Ive created a checkbox and applied code to make it change the background to red once checked. (The default color is grey)

The problem is, when I uncheck the box it stays red and I can not find any tutorials online to help me with toggling a check box.

Any help would be appritiated greatly.

I don't have a compiler in front of me but this should be close enough to answer your question:

private void checkbox_CheckChanged(sender s, EventArgs e)
{
  if (checkBox1.Checked)
    this.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
  else
  this.BackgroundColor = Color.Blue;
}

Thank you so much. I didnt know that checkbox had an option for 'Checked' to test if it was checked, thought id have to type the code out.
