Hi, Fred!
The MouseUp event is what you are looking for, because it comes Before
the LinkClicked event. So you catch the mouse button pressed in MouseUp
and process it in LinkClicked as in the example code below.
Best Regards and Happy New Year,
HKSHK
'BEGIN
Dim RightClick As Boolean
Private Sub LinkLabel1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e _
As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.MouseUp
RightClick = (e.Button = MouseButtons.Right)
End Sub
Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) _
Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked
If RightClick Then
Debug.WriteLine("Right click")
Else
Debug.WriteLine("Other click")
End If
End Sub
'END
