Toolbar button state during command execution

Windows NT 3.51/SP3 Visual C++ v4.0

In Visual C++ v2.x when a toolbar command was executing the button would 
remain depressed. In Visual C++ v4.0 the button only stays depressed 
while the mouse button is held down.

I would like to be able to reproduce Visual C++ v2.x functionality using 
Visual C++ v4. Does anybody know how this can be done. I have tried 
setting the toolbar button style to TBBS_PRESSED from within the command 
handler but this does not work.

     // When you want the button to look pressed...
     int nIndex = pToolBar->CommandToIndex(ID);
     UINT prevStyle = pToolBar->GetButtonStyle(nIndex);
     pToolBar->SetButtonStyle(nIndex,
                              prevStyle | (TBBS_CHECKBOX | TBBS_CHECKED));
     
     // When you want the button to look normal...
     pToolBar->SetButtonStyle(nIndex, prevStyle);

I didn't test this and i don't know how much it will cost you but you can 
try it. In your OnUpdate Handler for the Button Call SetCheck(TRUE) if 
running the command and SetCheck(FALSE) otherwise.
