Which mouse button has been pressed

[Anonymous]

Hi All

When running a VBA routine & the drawing area is active, is there a way to
determine which mouse button has been pressed?

Basically I want to Ask a question with the left button = Yes & the right
one = No without using a dialogue box.

Previously I achieved that by using the getpoint command & test to see if a
point is returned.

I now need a 3rd option & want to test for the middle button.

your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

If you have MBUTTONPAN turned on, then there's no simple
way to detect the middle mouse button, because AutoCAD
intercepts it and handles it transparently.

If you turn MBUTTONPAN off then you can use the ReadInput
method of the DrawingEditor class in AcadX.arx to detect
which mouse button was pressed (it will return 1 for the
middle button, 0 for the right button, or a coordinate
for the pick button).
