On my three button mouse MouseEvent.BUTTON2= Middle Click and MouseEvent.BUTTON3 = Right Click.

Is this the case on a two button mouse?

Thanks

To avoid any ambiguity, use the utilities methods from SwingUtilities :

SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(MouseEvent anEvent) SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(MouseEvent anEvent) SwingUtilities.isMiddleMouseButton(MouseEvent anEvent)
