# Switch: Disabled and read-only

> `readOnly` keeps the value visible and focusable but won't change it.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/switch/examples/states
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/switch.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/switch-states.json
```

This adds `components/examples/switch/states.tsx` with the Switch component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/switch/states.tsx"
import { Switch } from "@/components/ui/switch"

export function SwitchStates() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-4 text-sm">
      <label className="flex items-center gap-3">
        <Switch disabled />
        Disabled
      </label>
      <label className="flex items-center gap-3">
        <Switch disabled defaultChecked />
        Disabled and on
      </label>
      <label className="flex items-center gap-3">
        <Switch readOnly defaultChecked />
        Read-only (managed by your admin)
      </label>
    </div>
  )
}
```
