检测是否按下了鼠标的后退/前进按钮

Question

How can I use GetKeyState to detect if the mouse's back or forward button is down when I receive a mouse event? MSDN's virtual key code list seems to define only left, right and middle mouse buttons.

Callback method that is passed to SetWindowsHookEx:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
private IntPtr LowLevelMouseProc(int nCode, UIntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
{
    Debug.WriteLine(wParam.ToUInt32());
    Debug.WriteLine("MK_XBUTTON1: " + (wParam.ToUInt32() & 0x20));
    Debug.WriteLine("MK_XBUTTON2: " + (wParam.ToUInt32() & 0x40));
}

Outputs the following when either back or forward is pressed:

523
MK_XBUTTON1: 0
MK_XBUTTON2: 0
524
MK_XBUTTON1: 0
MK_XBUTTON2: 0

Answer 1

You were linking to the Windows CE documentation. The Desktop Windows documentation for Virtual-Key Codes contains the VK_XBUTTON1 and VK_XBUTTON2 codes. Those are the constants for the additional mouse buttons, that are often assigned to forward and backward navigation.

If you want to handle the X button messages immediately, they are posted to your application using WM_XBUTTONDOWN and WM_XBUTTONUP . The low-order word of wParam indicates which X button is down (if any).

Answer 2

Assume you use C# WinForm, and what you want is: When the picture box is focused , detect if mouse's back/forward button was pressed.

private System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox picContent;
this.picContent.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.picContent_MouseDown);

private void picContent_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.XButton1)
        MessageBox.Show("Back");
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.XButton2)
        MessageBox.Show("Forward");
}
