Hello,

I am trying to capture the OnPressed event for a Button control in a dialog box. I am aware of the fact that we have an OnClick event but how do I manipulate this to handle an OnPressed event?
This question may have been answered before but I could not find an answer to it myself. If so, could you please redirect me to that answer?

But this is not an MFC C++ function that I could use. Or will I be able to use this? Could you suggest me an example to follow this? I know we can do this in C# but not sure about C++.

Thank you, Carlo ;)

Yes, that is fine but could you suggest how do I use this with my Button Control? Or how do I detect whether one of my buttons is pressed or not and then allow the OnLButtonDown to function?
