Related to @rasat Window Tiling function. To use same action button first to Tile, on second push to DeTile, and third back to Tile. Got it to work with Schedule. Is there a better way?

Experimenting with a FvwmButton that creates one new button. On second push it kills the new button, on third push creates a new one again.

  1. Read $[HOME]/.fvwm/testB.sy
## testB.sy

DestroyFunc NewBtm
AddToFunc NewBtm
+ I Read $[HOME]/.fvwm/testNew.sy

Module FvwmButtons TestBtm
DestroyModuleConfig TestBtm: *
*TestBtm: Geometry 90x50-200+100
*TestBtm: Rows 1
*TestBtm: (90x1, Title "TEST", Fore #ffffff, Action NewBtm )

Style TestBtm !Title, StaysOnTop
  1. New button
# testNew.sy

Thank youuuuu, made my day. Couldn’t get a workable 3rd (reset) function. Also, it works on Title bar button’s mouse binding.

You could just use “PipeRead” to enforce blocking fvwm each time the button is pressed. Using “Schedule” is just asking for a race condition to occur.
