STRUCTURE MEMBERS

gii_pbutton_event simply specifies that the button is pressed or released.

Pointer buttons are specified in order of common usage, with 1 being the primary button. The following values are defined:

  • GII_PBUTTON_LEFT, GII_PBUTTON_PRIMARY, GGI_PBUTTON_FIRST equal 1.
  • GII_PBUTTON_RIGHT, GII_PBUTTON_SECONDARY, GGI_PBUTTON_SECOND equal 2.
  • GII_PBUTTON_MIDDLE, GII_PBUTTON_TERTIARY, GGI_PBUTTON_THIRD equal 3.

Of course, applications should avoid hardcoding mouse button values.
