Without knowing anything about your specific chip, environment, etc., it is hopeless to try to help you.

bool was_pressed = false;
while (1)
{
   bool pressed = is_button_pressed();
   if (pressed && !was_pressed) // it's pressed now, and it wasn't pressed before
   {
      toggle_led(); // do your thing
      delay(some_milliseconds); // simplistic debounce
   }
   was_pressed = pressed;
}

You have to ask yourself a few questions:

1) do you want to use cmsis?
2) do you want to use oem libraries?

After that, you need to make sure that you can set up a project according to your answers to question 1+2 above.

The simplest way is to start with one of the stock blinkies.

The fastest way is to read the compiler manual.

1)yes I want to use CMSIS inside Stm32f4 Library

I did those blinkings as a start point. I need to solve that problem now... Please help me......

babe: You sent me code, twice, in private emails and not as a reply in the forum. I even told you how to change the "pressed" line once. What more you do need? :)

I just did not understand bool structure ? is it possible to use it in my code?

"bool" is a standard C++ data type. If you don't understand it or use pure C code, just replace it with "int" like you already did for the other variable.

Thanks Ideki ........ Thanks all for your responds. Ideki, your logic worked well.. I found this forum site randomly. I am member, too anymore

I changed "int_pressed" part with
int pressed = (GPIO_ReadInputDataBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_0) == 1);

but this did not work.... i needed to write code all over.

What problem is "that problem"?

At this point, you need to help others help you - a bad spot to be in.

Well, you don't seem to understand the importance of telling us the details. Because of that, I gave you pseudo-code.
While we may some day all become high level telepaths, our mind reading skills are not yet fully developed.

You don't need to declare it. Use the code you already had! (I assume that code was working?)

int pressed = GPIOA->IDR & 0x000000001;

Note that this isn't using CMSIS but is directly accessing the registers. The CMSIS version I already gave you in the mail (that you didn't read?) was:

int pressed = GPIO_ReadInputDataBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_0) == 1;
