    The Windows functions still faithfully keep a return code (MK_MBUTTON = 16) for if the middle mouse button is down. Can computer mice with 3 buttons still be bought? Or have they gone where the passenger pigeon went?

      This is hardly a question for a C++ forum? You can find different mouse types in any PC store.

        Many mice have a scroll wheel which is also the middle button. If you have such a mice, just try to press the wheel instead of scrolling it. So only the simplest / cheapest mice have only two buttons. Many even have more than three buttons nowadays.
