CW Button in Visual Studio 2010?

[SnellyUSA]

I used to use the CW button control in VB6 applications, which gave me momentary/maintained buttons. These were used to emulate a control panel and worked great.

Measurement Studio 2010 no longer has the button control, which I think is a great loss for any application development.

Is there a way of using the CW.button control in 2010?

Does any version of measurement studio, compatible with VS2010 C#, have similar button components?

Are you referring to the IsMomentary property on the WPF BooleanButton control, or the SwitchUntilReleased value for the InteractionMode property on the Windows Forms Boolean control?

Hi Paul,

The SwitchUntilReleased for Windows Forms...

[phansen]

In that case, you can use the Switch or Led controls derived from Boolean. For SwitchUntilReleased, when you press the mouse down on the control, the Value property is updated and the StateChanged event is raised; when the mouse is released, Value is reverted and StateChanged is raised again.

Hi Paul,

Sorry but I don't know how to implement that.

Can you give me some exmple code in C#

I've got an LED button on the form but can't see how to use the SwitchUntilReleased 

[phansen]

In code, you would use switch1.InteractionMode = BooleanInteractionMode.SwitchUntilReleased; to set the interaction mode. In the designer, you can use the property grid, or the smart tag:

Hi Paul,

Got it. Sorry, I had an older version of mesurement studio installed. I've installed 2013 version and now it works 

Thanks a lot for your advice!
