Detect both left and right mouse click at the same time?

Question

I'm remaking windows Minesweeper (from XP) and something they had included was that if you click a number with as many flags as it's number with the left and right mouse button at the same time, it reveals every other hidden tile around that number.

I'm having a hard time telling when both the Left and Right mouse buttons are pressed at the exact same time... I'm using a pair of bools, one for each button with the OnMouseDown and OnMouseUp events but if the 2 buttons are clicked at the exact same time (or really close), then only one MouseDown event goes off and the other does not... If you click and hold one of the buttons then click and hold the other, the code works though.

Is there a better way to detect this kind of "dual" click?

Edit:

Alright, small story for why I messed this up (it worked all along).

I have a macbook pro running Windows 7. For those of you who don't know, the macbook pro has a single bar for a mouse button that normally left clicks, but if you place 2 fingers down it right clicks, so you can't do both (and no way to middle click). So I was building my app and sending it to my friend, he was telling me it wasn't working, so I posted this question. I finally decided to try it on my other laptop, a Dell XPS with 2 mouse buttons... Once it worked there I passed it along to other friends and they confirmed it worked. I don't know how my first friend messed it up, but moral of the story is don't buy anything Apple. At least that's the moral I got.

Answer 1

Try this,

Private Sub Form_Click(... , ByVal e As ystem.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)

If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right And e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
MsgBox ('Right & Left code')

End If

Answer 2

Create a class boolean variable for the left and right button defaulted to false. When the mouse down event fires set the variable to true and check if both are true. When the mouse up fires set the variable to false.

    public bool m_right = false;
    public bool m_left = false;

    private void MainForm_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        m_objGraphics.Clear(SystemColors.Control);

        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
            m_left = true;
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            m_right = true;

        if (m_left == false || m_right == false) return;
        //do something here
    }

    private void MainForm_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
            m_left = false;
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            m_right = false;
     }

Complete Code:

    private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) leftPressed = true;
        else if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) rightPressed = true;


        if (leftPressed && rightPressed)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Hello");

            // note: 
            // the following are needed if you show a modal window on mousedown, 
            // the modal window somehow "eats" the mouseup event, 
            // hence not triggering the MouseUp event below
            leftPressed = false;
            rightPressed = false;
        }


    }

    private void Form1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) leftPressed = false;
        else if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) rightPressed = false;
    }
