Hi. I want to create mashup for remote control my robot. Problem is only Clicked event availible. So I Can get only when user pressed button, but now when it release it. For robot control usally if user press and button is still pressed - robot do this action (f.e. move forward). When user release this button - robot should stop. How can I do this in Thingworx mashup. Any ideas ?

That behavior will be tough, I would either use push to start and then push to stop or push different button to stop

or maybe a toggle/slider?

There is no easy way how to do it. No out-of-the-box solution for it.

You may consider to create separate web-page with REST API and embed it into HTML read only area. Click - one event - one service, release other event - other service.

If that is done, you may consider to creating a stand alone widget extension to do just that.
