6{\bf NB: } Note that under Windows mouse enter and leave events are not natively supported
7by the system but are generated by wxWindows itself. This has several
8drawbacks: the LEAVE\_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
9left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
10time.

131
132\membersection{wxMouseEvent::Button}
133
134\func{bool}{Button}{\param{int}{ button}}
135
136Returns TRUE if the identified mouse button is changing state. Valid
137values of {\it button} are 1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right
138buttons respectively.
139
140Not all mice have middle buttons so a portable application should avoid
141this one.
142
143\membersection{wxMouseEvent::ButtonDClick}\label{buttondclick}
144
145\func{bool}{ButtonDClick}{\param{int}{ but = -1}}

148double click event. Otherwise the argument specifies which double click event
149was generated (1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right buttons respectively).
150

155If the argument is omitted, this returns TRUE if the event was a mouse
156button down event. Otherwise the argument specifies which button-down event
157was generated (1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right buttons respectively).
158
159\membersection{wxMouseEvent::ButtonUp}
160
161\func{bool}{ButtonUp}{\param{int}{ but = -1}}
162
163If the argument is omitted, this returns TRUE if the event was a mouse
164button up event. Otherwise the argument specifies which button-up event
165was generated (1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right buttons respectively).

168
169\func{bool}{ControlDown}{\void}
170
171Returns TRUE if the control key was down at the time of the event.
172
173\membersection{wxMouseEvent::Dragging}

202
203Returns the logical mouse position in pixels (i.e. translated according to the
204translation set for the DC, which usually indicates that the window has been scrolled).

VZ
252Please notice that it is {\bf not} the same as
253\helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} which returns TRUE if the left mouse
254button was just pressed. Rather, it describes the state of the mouse button
255before the event happened.
256
257This event is usually used in the mouse event handlers which process "move
258mouse" messages to determine whether the user is (still) dragging the mouse.
