    unfortunately as you guessed, this isnt the correct place for VB6 questions and is for .NET only. Best place, if you havent already, is to post here:

    Hi Suliman,

    Well use hte Mouse_Down event and you can easily determine which button is pressed and take the required action.. Hope this answers the question..

    Hi Suliman,

    You can respond to an event other than Button_Click this will let you choose which button to respond to like middle,right,left,etc...

    Thanks, I tried the mouse_up event and it works !

    I'm sorry but I don't actually know that, (as I'm using VB 6 (I know I shouldnt be posting here, but I can't find it anywhere else ! ) ).

    Isn't there a simple property in VB 6 that allows me to write a function when I right click a button.

    This is what I'm trying to do: When I left-click the button a few times it goes : "blue" , "green" , "yellow", "red"
    And when I right-click it, I want it to go: "red" , "yellow" , "green" , "blue" .
    Left-click to go forward and right-click to go backward.

    Thats what I'm attempting.

    Thanks

    this is also known as a contextmenu. From the controls I have seen such as combobox, textbox, listbox, there is a property in designer view called ContextMenuStrip. Simply add a context menu control on the form, add menu items to it, program it and finally assign the control in question to the contextmenustrip you have just created

    does this give you a head start
