Hi Fais

You've probably the "wrong" mechanical action. Right click on the boolean control, goto "mecahanical action" and select there "latch when pressed" or "latch when released". "Latch when released" should be the best in your case.

1) Right click on a button and change its mechanical action to Latch when Pressed or Latch when Released.

2) If you want to keep the Switch when Pressed or Switch when Released mechanical action, then you will need to reset the state of the button by using a local variable.

I interpret your statement to mean "after execution", i.e., after your program has stopped. The buttons will stay depressed, regardless of mechanical action, if you're in the stopped state - you're editing the front panel, not executing the program anymore. This is normal behavior.

You can use RESET ALL TO INITIAL VALUES to pop them all back out, but you really shouldn't operate the buttons when stopped unless you're intending to change text or colors of the depressed condition of the buttons.
