[comp.windows.ms] Three button mouse don't work!!

Even though I selected a Logitech Bus mouse in the installation, I notice
that win3 ignores the 3rd button, (Middle one). I wrote an App that used
the middle button if it is there, but the WM_MBUTTONDOWN(?) message is not being
sent. Anyone know what I have done wrong in the installation??
Any magic incantations in the system.ini file that will fix this??

It used to work in Win 2.11!!

I know the MS mouse only has two buttons, but it is wrong to assume only
MS mice are being used.

BTW I have only tried this in enhanced mode, I'm not interested in using
real or standard mode.

Also this is an App for me, so It won't be going out to people who only have
2 button mice (Although I can see that an App might want to make use of the
3rd button if it is there, and supply a reasonable alternative if it is not)

Thanks.

What mouse driver did you choose when you installed Windows 3.0?  If I
remember the notes on the Logitech Bus mouse, you're supposed to set it
up as a MS mouse - which only has two buttons.  The driver only supports two.

If you set up a non-MS mouse driver, than this may not apply.

Logitech says that they are preparing a windows 3 mouse driver that will
support the middle button.  The Microsoft supplied driver does not recognize
the middle button.  Logitech gave no ETA.
