How can i detect if the held switch is locked?

[xCyberFang]

i know that it involves IsActive, but when i try to use it it gives me this error.

The name 'isActive' does not exist in the current context

is there any other way of retrieving if the held is on or not?

Game.IsActive is the hold switch

I say this but I could not actually get it to work. IsActive is a bool that is false when the game is not active. Game.IsActive Property is a public property of Game.

Why does it not work?
If you have problems with your code then please paste the part of code here.

It should work that if you put the following e.g. in your game.update method.

if (IsActive)
{
// do what you want to do when the holdswitch is not set
}
else
{
// do what you want to do when the holdswitch is set
}

oh thats probably why, i put it in the game update, and it worked fine. thanks dino games, you rock!
