In trying to do some user interface functionality that is a
bit more fancy than the norm, I've come up against a
problem without an apparent workaround. When a MOUSE_PRESSED
or MOUSE_RELEASED event occurs there is no way to determine
the *state* of the buttons. All it tells you is the state change
of the buttons. This makes it impossible to detrmine, say, if
all the mouse buttons are now "up" or "down" as a result of the
button change. Of course you can wait until
a subsequent event like a mouse move to determine absolute mouse
button state but this is unacceptable in most user interface
situations.
