The MouseButtonEventArgs type exposes the following members.
Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
ClickCount | Gets the number of times the button was clicked. | |
Handled | Gets or sets a value that marks the routed event as handled. A true value for Handled prevents most handlers along the event route from handling the same event again. | |
OriginalSource | Gets a reference to the object that raised the event. (Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.) | |
StylusDevice | Gets an object that reports stylus device information, such as the collection of stylus points associated with the input. (Inherited from MouseEventArgs.) |

Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetPosition | Returns the x- and y-coordinates of the mouse pointer position, optionally evaluated against a coordinate origin of a supplied UIElement. (Inherited from MouseEventArgs.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

Remarks
MouseButtonEventArgs defines Handled, which is relevant for marking a mouse button event as handled. Handling the event prevents typical handlers further along the route from acting on the same event occurrence. For details on how to mark mouse events as handled, see Mouse Support.
In Silverlight, MouseButtonEventArgs does not carry information that reports which mouse button was clicked (left button or right button). If you want to know whether the mouse button was the left mouse button or right mouse button, you must use separate handlers for each event (UIElement.MouseLeftButtonDown and UIElement.MouseRightButtonDown).
Mouse events are sometimes promoted events from touch input stimulus. For more information about the concept of mouse event promotion, see Touch Input in Silverlight.
