How to Check Mouse Buttons State

Level: Beginner

Description:
Sometimes it is required to check the Mouse Button state on a certain point. For this purpose we use MouseButtons shared property,

System.Windows.Forms.Form.MouseButtons

Example: in DataGridView SelectionChanged event handler we can determine whether the selection is changed through mouse or not.

Private Sub DataGridView1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.SelectionChanged
    If System.Windows.Forms.Form.MouseButtons = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
        ' Selection is Changed by mouse
    Else
        ' Selection is NOT Changed by mouse
    End If
End Sub
