PushButton can perform 2 diferent actions?

Hello.
it is possible for a Pushbutton to perform two different actions?
One for a short click, and one for a long click.
That is, if we click normal on the button it performs a certain action. But pressing the button for more than 3 seconds performs another action.
This is very common in POS applications.
Is this possible?
Many thanks.

Button react on BN_CLICKED or BN_DBLCLK so both are "down"
now every XbPart FROM XbpWindow() have o:LbDn and o:LbUp to react.
so you can use a XbpStatic and react like DragDrop when press left Mouse-Button and hold it.

I think I can add this to DCPUSHBUTTOXP.

Hello,
In a TouchScreen scenario, pressing and holding the button makes a lot of sense.
I plan to use it to allow the user to configure their touch keyboard.
So that the user can set the desired actions for that button.
I usually see this functionality in most POS programs that are on the market.
The possibility of a second action on the button increases power in this command.
Maybe a "SetAction"
Many thanks.
I can wait for some news.

That's a possibility. Maybe DELAYACTION.
Probably would also require a 2nd parameter the set the delay amount.
@ .. DCPUSHBUTION ACTION <bAction> DELAYACTION <bAction2> CLICKDELAY nSeconds
Of course there would be a Get-Set function to set the default value for CLICKDELAY.

Here is an update for you.
This is the way you use the new parameters:
Code: Select all
#INCLUDE "dcdialog.CH"
FUNCTION Main()
LOCAL GetList[0], oToolBar
DC_XbpPushButtonDelay(1.5)
@ 0,0 DCPUSHBUTTONXP CAPTION 'Test 1' SIZE 20, 1.2 ;
ACTION {||MsgBox('Action 1')} ;
DELAYACTION {||MsgBox('Action 2')} CLICKDELAY 2 ;
COLOR GRA_CLR_WHITE, GRA_CLR_DARKCYAN
@ 2,0 DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION 'Test 2' SIZE 20, 1.2 ;
ACTION {||MsgBox('Action 1')} ;
DELAYACTION {||MsgBox('Action 2')} CLICKDELAY 1.5
@ 4,0 DCTOOLBAR oToolBAR SIZE 30, 1.2
DCADDBUTTONXP CAPTION 'Test 3' SIZE 20, 1.2 ;
ACTION {||MsgBox('Action 1')} ;
DELAYACTION {||MsgBox('Action 2')} CLICKDELAY 1 ;
COLOR GRA_CLR_WHITE, GRA_CLR_DARKPINK ;
PARENT oToolBar
DCADDBUTTON CAPTION 'Test 4' SIZE 15, 1.2 ;
ACTION {||MsgBox('Action 1')} ;
DELAYACTION {||MsgBox('Action 2')} ;
PARENT oToolBar
DCREAD GUI FIT

I'm getting an error too.
I rebuilt dclipx.dll with the new files and ran the included test which worked fine. When I rebuild an existing program with no other changes I get this error when I try to run it.

I think I see the problem but I can't figure out why I'm not getting that error.
I didn't initialize a new variable to a numeric.
Here is an updated _DCXBROW.PRG
