Have not done this in a while but
mouseevent.getModifiers() & BUTTON3_MASK > 0
Somewone correct me if I am wrong.

Hit the reply to topic button and nothing happened so I kept hitting it. By the way the last post is correct. Forgot the MouseEvent part. Sorry.

Why not catch the messages WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP, WM_RBUTTONDOWN, ... ?

Perhaps this can help:

in your
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent evt)
{
if (evt.isMetaDown())
{
// Rightclick
}
else
{
// Leftclick
}
}

about the other buttons... I don''t know sorry.

I was under the impression that Java only supported one mouse button to be compatible with Macs (although I have seen mac mouses with more than one button). At least thats what it says in one of my books...

A MouseWheelListener was added to BasicScrollPaneUI. The listener code calls into BasicScrollBarUI to scroll the appropriate scrollbar.

This was the evaluation of one of the many ''bug'' reports on java not supportion wheel mice. The code has been commited to Merlin.

Just as a reply to anonymous'' post, he/she got me thinking if evt.isMetaDown() would be triggered with the ALT so I tried it and it doesn''t work.

It does register the rightclick.

Perhaps anon was thinking that the mac''s meta was similar to the PC''s ALT (granted I know jack about macs so I have no clue which buttons simulate what on where).
