  Set up a variable to keep track of which command you last sent the DVD/VCR player. Use the variable to determine which command you should send next, then toggle the variable every time the button is pushed. Obviously there's no real way to know whether it's on DVD or VCR input since it's an IR device, so this is the best you can do.

  DEFINE_VARIABLE
  nDVD_VCR_STATE
  
  DEFINE_EVENT
  BUTTON_EVENT[arrTP,butDVD_VCR_TOGGLE]{
       PUSH:{
            if(nDVD_VCR_STATE) PULSE[dvDVDVCR,nDVD_MODE]
            else PULSE[dvDVDVCR,nVCR_MODE]
            nDVD_VCR_STATE = !nDVD_VCR_STATE
       }
  }

  It's interesting that you want to be able to do that because I usually find myself doing the opposite - that is, taking a toggle button and using some twisted method to be sure that one or the other state is definitely true.
