Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.

More often than not, you can transmit important information to your users and improve the overall user experience via effective buttons. In the eventuality that you are working on an application that provides users with multiple options, then a toggle button can make selecting the desired option more convenient and have less of an impact on the GUI.

The toggle button can easily fit in the Preferences or Settings panel as well since it would be easier to switch an option on and off whenever users do not need it. TAdvSmoothToggleButton is a component which allows developers to design a sleek and modern toggle button that is similar to the iPhone design.

Consequentially, the toggle button is going to have rounded gradient color calculation for a single color property as well as a rounded bevel with separate color styles, but the latter is optional. At the same time, the library enables you to customize it further by adding a drop-down menu or a drop-down control and add an optional status indicator on the button.

The button supports both caption text and images, with the note that the later option works with PNG images with alpha transparency. Then again, make sure that you choose the right icons for the buttons so that users know exactly when they are selecting or deselecting or adding or removing.
