	Operation
Latching = Mouse click to turn on, click again to turn off. Momentary = Mouse click to turn on, release to turn off.
	Send Event
Determine when the component will send a User event to its parent. On Change - Whenever the switch state changes. On Click - Only when the mouse clicks the object. On Release - Only when the mouse is released over the object. Never - No events.
	Moving part
Handle of a panel object that will be the moving part of the switch.
	Pivot object
Object around which the moving part will rotate when rotation is selected as the movement tyoe.
	Type
Set whether the moving part will move linearly or by rotation.
	Axis
Axis along which the moving part will move (for push/slide) or around which it will rotate (rotary).
	Movement
Distance or angle by which the mioving part will move.
	Show
Decide what label to show... None - no labels are displayed Name - shows the component's name Property - shows a property value of the component (a field for the property name will appear below)
