   Hi Guys,

   I have a level selection menu, filled with 25 CCMenuItemSprites per page.

   Everything works like it should, but I want to be able to detect when someone touches and holds a menu item.

   Currently the 'selectedSprite' shows, and that is good, but I want to display some of that levels stats in a hovering box.

   What is the best way to do this (I mean detecting the holded touch, not displaying the box)?

   Hi,

   I can't find the link, but I seem to remember a post here about that a while ago.

   Something along the lines of:
   schedule a timer with a slight delay in your ccTouch(es)Began, and unschedule it in ccTouch(es)Ended/Cancelled . If they don't hold the button down long enough, the call gets unscheduled before it runs.

   HTH,

   Hi Mark,

   Thanks for your post. The problem is not with the 'hold' period (I had a scheduler in mind), but how would I know what CCMenuItemSprite is touched?

   Thanks!

   VTX,

   I made myself a category of CCMenuItemSprite, and overrode selected. You could probably do what you need to do from in there ..

   -(void) selected {
   	[super selected];
   
   //	[[SimpleAudioEngine sharedEngine] playEffect:@"taptap.caf"];
   	id seq = [CCSequence actions:[CCScaleTo actionWithDuration:0.2f scale:0.95f], [CCScaleTo actionWithDuration:0.01f scale:1.0f], nil];
   	[self runAction:seq];
   }
