Power Apps | Persisted Button Pressed Numeric Up/Dn Control - Part 1

From the archive. This post dates from the blog’s Dynamics GP and early Power Platform era. Products and screenshots may have changed since it was written, and some of its links (PartnerSource and CustomerSource pages, legacy Maximum Global Business downloads, and other retired sites among them) may have been archived or may no longer be available.
This is part 1 of 2 showing how to build a persisted button pressed numeric up/down control. This video addresses the fundamentals of the control, starting with understanding the button pressed event, how it can be used to start and stop a timer, how to make 2 buttons increase and decrease a text input control, and finally introducing a timer to persist the press.



Part 2 will show how to componentize all these controls into a unit that can be reused across other applications.
