Hi All,
Am creating aphone application using eVC++ 4.0 .
and i have a button.
that button's functionality is to print some 'X' character when
single click and print 'Y' when held for a long time.
but am not getting any separate event for holding the button for lets
say 2 secs.
Could anyone plz help me in this case.
i wanted to how to capture the Long press event on the button (what is
the event).
or any help how to handle this case.

thanks in advance......

Just start measuring time on button down, then if during button up more than "let's say" 2000ms passed you'll print 'Y'.
Sounds like you're doing support for some national language, don't you?

The button is not sensitive to hold-down time. You will have to ignore
the standard click event and subclass the button and add a timer to
develop your own events from the button down, button up and timer events.

WM_LBUTTONDOWN and UP are sent to the button, not to the button's parent
dialog. You probably need to learn about control subclassing, which
lets you intercept messages that are sent to the control.
