.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / January 2006How to know if mouse buttons are switched ?
In the mouse control panel it is possible for a user to switch the mouse buttons. How to programmatically check this ? I need this to know if I have to fire a left or right mouse button with the mouse_event win32 function. Thank you Nicolas >How to programmatically check this ? I don't know if the information is available from any managed class, but you can check it with GetSystemMetrics(SM_SWAPBUTTON).

Hi Nicolas, If the buttons are switched, the left mouse button will send MouseButtons.Right and the right button will be MouseButtons.Left so your application should work properly either configuration. If you really need to know which configurations there are probably some registry key you could check for or use SwapMouseButton from the User32.dll. The return value will tell if the buttons were swapped to begin with. > In the mouse control panel it is possible for a user to switch the > mouse buttons.
