Button

You can use the Button function to determine whether the user pressed the
mouse button.

FUNCTION Button: Boolean;

DESCRIPTION

The Button function looks in the Operating System event queue for a mouse-down event. If it finds one, the Button function returns TRUE; otherwise, it returns FALSE. To determine whether the mouse button is still down after a mouse-down event, use the StillDown function.
