It's kind of a trciky question and it depends on the programmer. I think I understand why it could be argued to be switched when released.
Typically, when you press a button on a dialog box, the button stays pressed until the appropriate action completes. For example, if you hit an Apply button, the dialog box completes all actions associated with the Apply button, then resets the button to the off state.
Depending on how you write your program, you can have the same behavior accomplished with a latch button as well. You just have to read the control until after you have finished your actions. In some cases, it may be quite simple, but in others, it may be more difficult if you go through several states before the action is complete. But, it is possible to get the same behavior out of both.
I think a lot of us have been programmed that locals are bad, so manually resetting the switch is bad. It doesn't help that NI also has the buttons on the control pallette setup to latch when released either. You would think that if switched when released is the correct answer, that NI would have their OK and Cancle buttons behave in that manner.
Sorry, I don't know if there is a way to delete posts or not.
