Push Buttons

[ffazly]

I'm trying to create a push button such that when it's clicked on the text on the button changes and the button is depressed. If the button is clicked on again then it gets back to its original state. Here's the code that I've written: if(BM_CLICK) { //if button depressed return to original state if(SendMessage(hwnd[ID_BUTTON_START], BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) == BST_PUSHED) { SendMessage(hwnd[ID_BUTTON_START], BM_SETSTATE, 0, 0); SetWindowText(hwnd[ID_BUTTON_START], TEXT("start")); } //else depress button and change button text else { SendMessage(hwnd[ID_BUTTON_START], BM_SETSTATE,1 , 0); SetWindowText(hwnd[ID_BUTTON_START], TEXT("Pause")); } } My problem is that I can't get the button to get to it's original state. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, Take a CheckBox and set under the properties the 'Push-like' style and try: void CMyProject::OnMyCheckBox() { m_bPushed = !m_bPushed; if(m_bPushed) GetDlgItem(IDC_CHECK_BTN)->SetWindowText(_T("Pause")); else GetDlgItem(IDC_CHECK_BTN)->SetWindowText(_T("Start")); } Hope its helpful P.
