C# Right mouse click on button does not raise mouseclick event

I have a button on a form and want to handle both left and right clicks.

I am handling the MouseClick event, but this is only raised on a left click.

Is this a problem somewhere in my code (a setting that I have missed) or the intended functionality?

If this is not possible to fix, what is the best workaround - to handle the MouseUp event?

The reason I would like to use MouseClick is so that double clicks are automatically recognised.

Thanks for any feedback.

Use MouseUp !!

    private void button6_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("LEFT");
        }
        if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("RIGHT");
        }
    }

Apparently the answer to this is that OnClick does not handle right click events for Buttons. The solution was therefore to use MouseUp/MouseDown and check for double clicks/clicks where the mouse moves on/off halfway through manually.

Its hard to answer without code but in general, it should work. 

 private void Form1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
  {
    MessageBox.Show("LEFT");
  }
  if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
  {
    MessageBox.Show("RIGHT");
  }
}

// EventHandler 

 this.MouseClick += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.Form1_MouseClick);

Edit: There is a MouseDoubleClick Event you might want to use to recognize double clicks. Works both, for left and right musebuttons.
