Detecting mouse buttons in .NET
This is embarrassingly stupid - I'll be realistic and assume that I'm the stupid one here:
When developing with Winforms, most events allow checking the state of the mousebuttons using the MouseButtons enum. However I can't seem to catch combinations - for example, if the user presser both the right and middle button at once, I want to handle it differently than a standard right-click. Why? Don't ask - its a long story.
Anyhow, the enum does not include combinatations, and even trying various ANDs I haven't been able to detect this. Ideas anyone?

private void panel1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine(System.Windows.Forms.Control.MouseButtons);
Debug.WriteLine("MouseDown: " + e.Button.ToString());
}
The trick is to check the static MouseButtons property, e.Button will only contain the mouse button that caused the event so it will only ever contain a single button at a time. - Anonymous
