Hi,

TouchDown is called when the button is pressed, and TouchUp is called after the button is released (this works both with pressing and releasing the button on the mouse).

Create an empty project and add a button and labels to it. Create all processing blocks of pressing a button and print information on labels in these blocks to see how it works.
