However, in the case of FL_INOUT_BUTTON, I was expecting that
a "IN" is always followed by an OUT, and this is what the
manual suggests, too.
How can you logically get IN something twice in a row, without
first getting OUT of it ?
When an FL_INOUT_BUTTON push button gets released, I am expecting
to get a callbak with value 0 (i.e. button is "up"). When I press
the button, then move the pointer out of the button, I see the
button getting released (i.e. going "up") without me getting a
callback. I don't think that this should happen with this type
of button.
I will give you the simple example where I use this type
of button: It is to implement the fast-forward (FFW) function on
a VCR-like interface. You press the FFW button, and the
thing goes fast-forward as long as you keep pushing the
button. You remove your finger, and the VCR goes
back to normal play.
So, I use a FL_INOUT_BUTTON and goes in FFW mode when I
get the callback with value 1 (button depressed) and go
back to normal mode when I get the callback with value 0
(button released). It works well... in most cases!
The problem if that because of what you call the "desired
behavior", which I think is a bug, it is possible for the user
to release the FFW button without Xforms notifying me:
The user presses the FFW button, moves the pointer out of
the FFW button (keeping the mouse button down) and then
releases the mouse button...
