How to change Command Button Press color

[NI Nubie]

How can I change a command button color when it is pressed and held?

i.e. I want it to turn green momentarily while being pressed.

Thanks.

In my opinion the best option you have is to use a toggle button, painted in the desired colours in the two available states. In the callback of the button set its value to 0 immediately before exiting:

SetCtrlVal (panel, control, 0);

I tried that but the on color does not show up because it is too fast.

Respond to EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_UP

The visual state of the controls is not updated while inside the callback: that is why you don't see the control in ON state. Insert a ProcessDrawEvent ( ) as the very first instruction in your EVENT_COMMIT callback, next proceed with the rest of the code. You will see at lease a flash of the ON color.

Tell us if the ON state time is too short so that we can suggest some additional hint.

The EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_UP achieved the desired effect. The toggle button now displays the 'On' colour until the button is released.

Thanks all.
