How to detect the mouse button status?

In D3D in Auroroa how do you detect the mouse button status?  Button pressed or button down or button released?

You can:

1.  Use a handler, Override OnLButtonDown, OnLButtonUp in the C3DScreen class which is derived from CWindow so can handle all of the messages a normal window can.

2. Use GETKEYSTATE as in the frags example.  GETKEYSTATE(0x01) = left button, GETKEYSTATE(0x02) = right button, GETKEYSTATE(0x04) = middle button

3. Use the CDirectInput class.
