mouseButtonNumber

[David Bovill]

Hi Mark, not quite. I have a handler - something like:

command mimickMouseUp
>   put getMouseButtonNumber() into pMenuButtonNum
>   if pMenuButtonNum = 3 then
>     doSomething
>   end if
> end mimickMouseUp
>
> function getMouseButtonNumber
>   -- ?
> end getMouseButtonNumber

Assuming there is no built in handler I want a function that returns the
same value (ie number), that you get with:

on mouseUp pMenuButtonNum
>   if pMenuButtonNum = 3 then
>     doSomething
>   end if
> end mouseUp
