Create a Menu Toggle
A menu toggle displays an option that the user can enable (turn on) or disable (turn off). Each time the user clicks the toggle, the status of the option switches. You must provide a label for the toggle, whether you use different labels for the on and off states, or one label for both.
The variable for a toggle is always of type integer. It can have the following values:
Enabled: 1
Disabled: 0
You can create a menu toggle using the Menu Editor.
To add a menu toggle to a menu
1. Click Insert, Menu Toggle in the Menu Editor.
2. Click at the bottom of the menu button in the slide-off menu.
The Menu Editor inserts a generic menu toggle:
Note:  The HasIndicator property in the Property Inspector is automatically set to TRUE.
3. Select the menu toggle and use the Property Inspector to set its other properties, including Name, OffTextLabel, and OnTextLabel.
Note:  For complete descriptions of each menu toggle property, see Menu Toggle Properties and Common Menu Properties.
