Hi,

I am wondering if its possible to exactly determine wether the
Middle-Mouse-Button was pressed,
or if the "button" field in MouseEvent depends on the Mouse I am using.

An example:
Using a 3 Button Mouse, the middle mouse button will have event.button = 2
Using a 2 Button Mouse, the right mouse button (normaly used to open the
context
menu) will also have event.button = 2, or not?

Regards,
Ben

The right mouse button is always button=3, even on a 2-button mouse.
