Guys, I'm creating a control project for a hydraulic crane, and I need to create a continuity button, but the node-red dashboard button only sends the pulse when you release it, but I need a button that is activated while I press it, and when i release it it turns off, does anyone know how to do this?
You could create a button in the ui-template node and use ng-mouseup to send when released.

you can use css to style it, etc
Thanks for your attention, but I need a button that activates when I press it, and not when I release it, oh and what do I do with your code? Just put it in the ui template? Or do I need to put something before it like a ""?
There is a node-red-contrib-button-events node which will generate pressed, released, clicked, double clicked etc messages from a dashboard button.
Do you have an example of how to use it?
Actually I think it only works to tell how long the button was held down for - after it's released.
There are mouse down (triggers the "ripple effect") and mouse up (reverts colour, sends message) events for the button. It must be possible to send a message at mouse down too. Unfortunately I don't know how, sorry
Can i see your flow?
Ah. I deleted it when I realised it didn't meet your requirement.
There is a thread demonstrating mousedown and mouseup messages.
And my test of it lighting up an led while the button is clicked:

Just put this code in the template?
What I posted in the reply above is a complete flow. Import it via the hamburger menu at the top right of the editor screen.
So why not change mouseup for mousedown?
