Which Mouse button

I haev a picture, and I'm currently coding in the picturebox_Clicked method. How can I differentiate between which mouse button is being clicked here and do different tasks..
Ex.
Right button -- msgbox "right"
left button -- msgbox "left"

well, you could use a context menu for right clicks. other than that i dont know.

Hi,

You could try this;

VB Code:

Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            TextBox1.Text = "Button Left" & Space(1) + CStr(e.X) + "," + CStr(e.Y)
        End If
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            TextBox1.Text = "Button Right" & Space(1) + CStr(e.X) + "," + CStr(e.Y)
        End If
    End Sub

I couldn't find anything more.

Don't use the PictureBox click event use the MouseDown event instead.

VB Code:

Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown
        'get the button that was pressed
        'just show it in a label......
        lblMouse.Text = e.Button.ToString
    End Sub
