## javax.sound.sampled
Class BooleanControl

    java.lang.Object
      javax.sound.sampled.Control
          javax.sound.sampled.BooleanControl

    public abstract class BooleanControl

extends Control

A `BooleanControl` provides the ability to switch between two possible settings that affect a line's audio. The settings are boolean values (`true` and `false`). A graphical user interface might represent the control by a two-state button, an on/off switch, two mutually exclusive buttons, or a checkbox (among other possibilities). For example, depressing a button might activate a ``MUTE`` control to silence the line's audio.

As with other ``Control`` subclasses, a method is provided that returns string labels for the values, suitable for display in the user interface.

Since:
  1.3

Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `BooleanControl.Type` An instance of the `BooleanControl.Type` class identifies one kind of boolean control.

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `BooleanControl(BooleanControl.Type type, boolean initialValue)` Constructs a new boolean control object with the given parameters.
`protected` | `BooleanControl(BooleanControl.Type type, boolean initialValue, String trueStateLabel, String falseStateLabel)` Constructs a new boolean control object with the given parameters.

Method Summary
`String` | `getStateLabel(boolean state)` Obtains the label for the specified state.
`boolean` | `getValue()` Obtains this control's current value.
`void` | `setValue(boolean value)` Sets the current value for the control.
`String` | `toString()` Provides a string representation of the control

Constructor Detail

### BooleanControl

    protected BooleanControl(BooleanControl.Type type,
                             boolean initialValue,
                             String trueStateLabel,
                             String falseStateLabel)

  Constructs a new boolean control object with the given parameters.

  Parameters:
    `type` - the type of control represented this float control object
    `initialValue` - the initial control value
    `trueStateLabel` - the label for the state represented by `true`, such as "true" or "on."
    `falseStateLabel` - the label for the state represented by `false`, such as "false" or "off."

### BooleanControl

    protected BooleanControl(BooleanControl.Type type,
                             boolean initialValue)

  Constructs a new boolean control object with the given parameters. The labels for the `true` and `false` states default to "true" and "false."

  Parameters:
    `type` - the type of control represented by this float control object
    `initialValue` - the initial control value

Method Detail

### setValue

    public void setValue(boolean value)

  Sets the current value for the control. The default implementation simply sets the value as indicated. Some controls require that their line be open before they can be affected by setting a value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - desired new value.

### getValue

    public boolean getValue()

  Obtains this control's current value.

  Returns:
    current value.

### getStateLabel

    public String getStateLabel(boolean state)

  Obtains the label for the specified state.

  Returns:
    the label for the specified state, such as "true" or "on" for `true`, or "false" or "off" for `false`.

### toString

    public String toString()

  Provides a string representation of the control

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Control`
  Returns:
    a string description
