press and hold button?

Is it possible to press and hold a command button?

What I want to do is when i press and hold a command button, the app does one thing. Soon as I release the button, the app does something else.

Is this possible?

Are you looking for something like this?

B4X:

dim B1 as Button

B4X:

Sub B1_Down
   Msgbox("You are holding me down. Please let go","")
End Sub

B4X:

Sub B1_Up
   Msgbox("I am glad you let go. Thanks. I was suffocating","")
End Sub

That would work!

Edit: Crap. Doesnt work with menubuttons.

Edit: Tried it with a command button, it works somewhat. It doubletriggers up while holding down though. Which is not good, and wont work for my application.

If i hold down the command button, I have a toastmessage that shows Down. Well itll show Down, then Up, then Down. While holding the button. Odd. Let loose, itll show Up, Sometimes Down, then Up.

I see what you mean. Try using btn_click instead of btn_up and enable a timer in order to do whatever needed in the mean time.
About menuItems, I don't think this is possible with normal coding.
