Tilgath,
From your post, I understand you to be referring to the mechanical action of the physical push buttons soldered onto the LM3S8962 evaluation board. If this is the case, you only have the option of using what physical hardware you have on the board. If you want a push button to act like a latching button, you would have to write code that performs this operation. You might code the following:
1) detect when the physical button is pushed
2) set a variable (or shift register) with the new button value
3) read from this variable in your code (instead of from the physical button)
4) when you read from the variable, clear the value
By introducing a variable in software, you can simulate a latching mechanical action for your hardware switch.
