Answer 2

The Click and MouseClick events are only generated by a left-click. If you want to detect right-clicks then you have to implement the MouseDown or MouseUp event.

Answer 3

The above answer is correct... you need to check it on the MouseDown event.

private void TextBox_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) wasRightButtonClicked = true; }
