RBPLC (Customer) asked a question.
C-More Step Switch Feature Request
This request comes from discussion concerning desire to make a proper start/stop button that represents what would replicate the function of a physical start/stop button.
This could be accomplished by adding the ability for the Step Switch (maybe a tick box when setting up the Step Switch) to not repeatedly toggle two bits when pressed. The toggle action would only occur during the first push of the button. At current time, if either of the two Step Switch buttons is pressed, continual toggling of the two bits occurs.
Hi RBPLC,
What about using the radio button (two buttons) under a Dynamic Bitmap?
Start Pressed

Cmore Dynamic Bitmap
I like this idea and it sounds like it would solve my desire and give more programming options.
I don't know the underpinnings of c-more but an additional option would be utilizing the indicator button; if it was allowed to have the indicator decide if it was ON based on selected TRUE/FALSE, exactly like how the Visibility option works for most controls. This would mean that an indicator button could be considered "pushed" for either an ON or OFF state depending on what the programmer selected for its pushed state (true or false). I'm not promoting one version over the other, I think either would get the end result just wanted to throw it out there. It would be awesome if both options were viable.
Now in hind sight Garry's option may be more efficient as it would only need one button, my method would utilize two buttons each looking at its indicator from the inverse perspective of the other button.
Edit: Sorry I meant to be replying to RBPLC's post, I misread and thought Garry was original poster. I am not trying to hi-jack his post just felt this was relevant.
