Creating maintained push buttons
Use the Maintained Push Button tool to create a button that changes a setting in a machine
or process.
When first pressed, the maintained push button changes a tag to one value. When pressed
and released a second time, the button changes the tag to another value.
Maintained push buttons are not useful for starting or stopping a machine or process.
Setting up maintained push button properties
In the Maintained Push Button Properties dialog box:
 In the General tab, specify the general appearance and touch margins of the button,
how it changes states, and whether an audio signal is produced when it is pressed.
 In the States tab, specify the appearance and behavior of the button for each state,
when it is pressed and released.
 In the Connections tab, specify the tags or the expression the button will use for
transferring data.
