Hi Koldo

I'm a bit fuzzy on this one. Can you help me a bit more as to how to do this? This is how I did it now

class JfButton : public Button {
public:
	virtual void   LeftDown(Point, dword);
	virtual void   LeftUp(Point, dword);
};

and in my App, this

void	JfButton::LeftDown(Point p, dword dw)
{
	SetLabel("Pushed");
}

void	JfButton::LeftUp(Point p, dword dw)
{
	SetLabel("Released");
}

I understand Honza's point about releasing the button outside the widget rectangle and can see it hang. Surely I need to look at how to release when the Mouse leaves the widget rectangle.

Edit:
I no longer see the button being redrawn to pushed state. Is there something more that needs to be done to get this?

Regards
