BUTTON DOWN STATE

[XLRETARD]

is it possible to make a button stay in the down state when it is "pressed or clicked on" untill you press or click another button and then it will return to the up state

i.e. you have 2 buttons on and off. pressing the on button will activate what you need but the button will stay in the down state.
pressing the off button will deactivate what you need and return the on button back to the up state and the off button will be in the down state.

thanks for all of the previous help

Yeah, buttons can do that. Winamp's repeat and shuffle buttons can be set up to operate that way. Just place the name of the button in the Default/ID window. Example: 'repeat' for the repeat button, 'shuffle' for the shuffle button. Another button that works rather well is the mute button. Works the same way, just add 'mute' and it should toggle.

I think you have to restart Xlobby for the effect to take place, and I'm not to sure if it works with every button. Someone else may be able to answer that.

Hope this was helpful.

No. Some buttons have special cases as you mentioned. These toggle buttons are only a few. Some YEARS ago we asked for custom toggle buttons, it was a sticky post for a year or so. And was never implemented.

Now there is a trick you could do to accomplish what you are doing. It takes a bit of work though. You make your buttons categorys. Each state is an entry. By pressing the button (category) you do a next item and the event. This rolls the category to the down state. Pressing the category again rolls it to the next state and executes an event. This looks and behaves like a button if your category is one row one column. The selector image would = your enter state of the button.

Your second button could control your 1st category button with category controls. (ie. Next item, etc.)

I hope this isnt too confusing.
