Thank you.
I was just thinking what would be the best way of action. 
Have the function registered on a button pressed event, and removed on a button realeased event?
or have a gtlobal static variable set to TRUE, and the function registered on a button press, and have the button release set the var to FALSE? (that variable would be the return fariable.
I guess the firstone is better (more secure and less error prone), but would like to hear some advices.

Thank you again.
