Using kit solenoids, You need two. One for direction, which you hook up normally. Then you connect the vents from the first valve to a second, to stop the air from venting to the atmosphere. This stops the cylinder from moving until this second valve is opened.

Program the first for direction, the second for movement(on/off)

Lots of info in this thread, with a diagram on 11th post:
