Full solenoid controll off of one joystick button?

I have spent a few hours trying to figure out this problem, and am now thinking it best to ask for help. My problem is this: How to fire both sides of a solenoid with consecutive clicks of a single button. So far I have only been able to make it so one button fires a side of the solenoid and a second button fires the other side. At the moment, my team is using the basic framework, but there are plans to switch over to the advanced prior to ship date.

I had been thinking about using a case structure for this, until I realized that if a joystick button was feeding in, it would only read true as long as the button was depressed. If there is a way to just switch a case to true when a button is pressed and then go to false when depressed again, I know what to do from there.
