App Designer push button callback on push/hold (not native ButtonPushFcn)
32 views (last 30 days)

I have a need for a callback(s) that reacts to when:
1) Button is pushed
2) Button is released
The native ButtonPressFcn only is called when the button is pressed then released. I could not find anything in the community that would help with a callback, so I tried to instantiate a timer that polls the state of the button. However, the button does not have a "Value" property.
Is there another mechanism or callback that I can use to either poll the value of the button or a true button push/hold callback?

Hello Rick,
You could leverage State Button instead of Push Button. When the Push Button is clicked once, the button appears to press and release. When the State Button is clicked, the button remains in the pressed or released state until it is clicked again. Use the “value” variable in the ButtonValueChanged callback of the State Button to know the state of the button an then take an action.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
If you want to execute the button, you must execute the 'execution' command of that one. As example, in a app.OriginalButton button:
OriginalButtonValueChanged
Note that when you are writting in the App Designer the button name, it automatically suggest the 'button' statement, in this case OriginalButtonValueChanged, that you can use.
But, if you want to execute an State Button, surely you will need to re-define the state of it previously, it means that first you need to change the value (pushed or not) and then execute it. It is because when you click in State Button, you change the value with the click and then the callback of the button (OriginalButtonValueChanged) is executed. Here what I write in a problem of this style:
if ~app.OriginalButton.Value
app.OriginalButton.Value = true;
app.OriginalButtonValueChanged;
else
app.OriginalButton.Value = false;
app.OriginalButtonValueChanged;
end
Hope this help!
