# NSButton.ButtonType.switch

A standard checkbox button.

## Declaration

```swift
case `switch`
```

## Discussion

Discussion A switch button provides the same toggling behavior as a NSButton.ButtonType.toggle button. In addition to configuring that behavior, this button type configures isBordered to false and provides a standard checkbox image. Checkboxes are ideal for controlling a Boolean state within your application. The mixed state of a checkbox, enabled through the allowsMixedState property, is useful for summarizing multiple Boolean states of varying values. This option corresponds to the Switch type in Interface Builder’s Attributes inspector.
