event for 'command button up' needed

[DianaS]

Hi Wolfgang

this behaviour is the same like with windows buttons. I think the CVI buttons should act like

windows buttons and so I don't think the devolopers will change it.

If I understand the problem correctly, you might be able to get the behavior you want by using a toggle button instead of a command button, set as an indicator.  You could then programmically toggle it on/off as needed in the callback.  That way you would have total control over the appearance of the button.  The only downside that I can see is that the toggle buttons seem to have a slightly different appearance to them, which means they may not match other buttons on the UI.

Hi DianaS,

Thanks! If I remember correctly LabView offers such a push-button possibility (but I may be wrong because it is some time I've used it)

Hi TStanley,

Initially I had considered using a toggle button - but unfortunately it looks different; moreover, it does not help avoiding the 'extra' effort of checking mouse position...
