I'd like to have buttons in my patch that when pressed and held, change the state of the patch until the buttons are released.

I know that Max can detect keyboard key press on and off, and midi note on and off, however is there a way to do it with buttons in a gui?

is-there-are-ui-object-that-can-detect-push-and-release

if all else fails, there should be a jsui object.

Here's a hastily extracted and adapted to use ubutton "Key Repeat" thing I use in some patches:

oh ubutton would be perfect accept i'm hoping to also use this patch in M4L and I'd prefer to be able to map a controller to this button easily. any idea on creating the same behavior using the standard bang or toggle?

The patch I posted could easily be modified to use a toggle as its input. Slap a [sel 0 1] after the toggle to get the on and off states

er, in mfl just bind the ubutton to a pattr and make a passive loopback with a live.toggle set to 'hidden'? oh, and use chris' idea with that.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but [pictctrl] does this all by itself.

Is there are UI object that can detect push and release?
