What would be the best way to toggle two buttons off and on in C++?(with out using a timer)

Question

My solution(with a timer):
If(m_Joystick->GetRawButton(7) && m_Joystick->GetRawButton(8) && time->Get() == 0)
{
Open all valves;
Time->start;
}
Else if(m_Joystick->GetRawButton(7) && m_Joystick->GetRawButton(8) && time->Get() <= 0.5)
{
Close all valves;
Time->reset;
}

I expect you are getting the real input from "joystick" (as your varible name says) and want to get rid off the timer to toggle a button or something similar.
Lets say your want to toggle a LED on/off. I would toggle it using following code.

bool ledLight = false;// LED is off

if(m_Joystick->getRawButton(7) && m_Joystick->getRawButton(8))
{
ledLight = (ledLight)? false:true;//toggle LED value
}

hope this helps.Thanks..
