I need an event to a button press TaskBar middle mouse button.

something like

if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Middle)
         {
            MessageBox.Show("Middle");
         }

only taskbar

I know this example. I did that. the problem is that the event for the Taskbar. I need an event to the button provided on this TaskBar

Answer 1

e.Button is not of type MouseButtons. It is of type ToolBarButton. So it references the location on the toolbar that is clicked, not the location on the mouse used to make the click.

Toolbar Button

If you need to handle which toolbar button is clicked then reference this example for using the ToolBarButtonClickEventHandler works.

//add some buttons.
TaskBar.Buttons.Add(new ToolBarButton()); //index 0
TaskBar.Buttons.Add(new ToolBarButton()); //index 1

//add the handler
TaskBar.ButtonClick += new ToolBarButtonClickEventHandler (
    this.taskbar_ButtonClick);

private void taskbar_ButtonClick (Object sender, ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs e)
{
    // Evaluate the Button property to determine which button was clicked. 
    switch(TaskBar.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button))
    {
        case 0:
            //Whatever you want to do when the 1st toolbar button is clicked
            break; 
        case 1:
            //Whatever you want to do when the 2nd toolbar button is clicked
            break; 
    }
}

Mouse Button

You could add an event handler for the MouseDown event to trap the Mouse button that was clicked.

TaskBar.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(this.taskbar_MouseDown);

private void taskbar_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    // Determine which mouse button is clicked. 
    if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Middle)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Middle");
    }
}
