You have to capture the mouse:
void MyWnd::OnRButtonDown(....)
{
SetCapture();
m_rightbtndown = TRUE;
}
void MyWnd::OnRButtonUp(...)
{
ReleaseCapture();
m_rightbtndown = FALSE;
}

What is the proper way of decting whether a certain mouse button is
depressed or not? If I create a class member bool m_rightbtndown and
set it true on the message "OnRButtonDown" and set it false on
"OnRButtonUp", that does not work if I right click in the window, and
then drag the mouse outside the window, lift my finger, and then bring
the mouse back to my window. my window still thinks the button is
depressed because it never received "OnRButtonUp"
How should I do this?
