Questions are rarely stupid. In this case, however, many of the words in the question seem somewhat confused. What do you mean by "toggle" here? I don't know what it would mean for a toggle to be "depressed", I don't know what "it" you're referring to, and usually when something is no longer depressed it goes back up.

To answer the questions you asked originally: A Festo valve indeed will return to its unenergized state when it's no longer being energized. You cannot change this behavior in programming; it is just the way the hardware works. You can use programming the way Pat Fairbank suggests, but remember that when the robot is disabled all outputs are deactivated and the valve will turn off until the robot is reenabled.
