is there anything similar to a ubutton but visible, when not in edit mode?

working on a tap control needing a button, which sends bang on both on and off states, but upon mouse control.

here's what i have and seems clumsy to me:

ubutton-anything-similar-but-visible

i'm sorry don malone, i don't get your idea to work as the patch i posted.

the patch i posted sends a 1, when mousing down over the ubutton area, and a 0 when relasing the mouse button. that way i can achieve to tap times as short as 40 ms, whereas with your idea, given that i wired it correctly, i have to click toggle twice which only gets me approx. 90 ms of minimum tap.

did i wire it wrong? how would you wire it? or is there other ways to send 1 when mouse don and 0 when mouse up? mousestate doesn't do it initially as it reads the mouse anywhere, and no inside a dedicated click region.

a normal button then sends bang only on clicking but not when releasing it. same goes for leds. hmm...

[lcd] has an outlet for reporting mouse up and down. I don't know how helpful this will be in your situation though.

If you are on Mac you could use my good old rs.textbutton object which

If you are on Mac you could use my good old rs.textbutton object which  
does this nicely:
