What Does it Do

Click

Click once on the 'left' mouse button.

We use the term 'left' loosely here.  Control Panel lets you configure a mouse as either right- or left-handed (and reverse the buttons).

If the mouse is configured as right-handed, the left mouse button will perform a 'click'.  If the mouse is configured as left-handed, the right mouse button will perform a 'click'.

Selects the 'default action' of virtually every 'gadget' available on a form including menus, buttons, lookup fields, date fields, grids, radio buttons, check boxes, list boxes, drop-down lists, etc.

Double-Click

Click twice (quickly) on the 'left' mouse button.

See 'Click' above for a discussion on the left and right mouse buttons.

Selects the 'default action' (OK or Edit) on the selected item in a search list or lookup list.

Right-Click

Click once on the 'right' mouse button.

See 'Click' above for a discussion on left and right.

Drag-and-Drop

Left-Click and while still holding down the mouse button, drag the mouse to the location where you want to drop.  Release the mouse button when you are at the location where you want to drop.
