i have a dialog. With a button. And i want to do certain things as long as the button is held down. So i tried the following:

    
    
    
    
    Bool Dialog::Command(LONG id,const BaseContainer &msg)  
    {  
     switch(id)   
     {  
      case BUTTON:  
      {     
       BaseContainer bc;  
       while(GetInputState(BFM_INPUT_MOUSE,BFM_INPUT_MOUSELEFT,bc))  
       {  
        if(bc.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_VALUE)) {  
         // do something  
        } else break;  
       }
    
    
    
    
      } break;  
     }  
     return TRUE;  
    }

It doesn't work. bc.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_VALUE) returns always 0. This isn't the best way to do it anyway. Perhaps i could write my own Button as UserArea. A easier way would be nice. Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

No one?..
in the mean time i've written my own button control. But it is no good. Because it doesn't use the interface shemes. When using funtions, such as DrawBorder(..) i thought it would use the right "skin" bitmaps to contruct a border. But it just draws the standard borders.
Back to the first approach. Does anyone know why the above code doesn't work. Mikael, is this a bug or limitation?

I think this is a limitation. 'inta'/'inte' messages are sent to Message(), but you won't be able to tell if they come from the button.
