Mouse extra buttons in WPF

mouseevent, wpf

Solution

In the constructor:

  MouseDown += MouseDownEvent;

The event handler:

  private void MouseDownEvent(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
  {
        switch (e.ChangedButton)
        {
             case MouseButton.XButton1://Back button
                MessageBox.Show("Back button pressed");
                break;
             case MouseButton.XButton2://forward button
                MessageBox.Show("Forward button pressed");
                break;
             default:
                break;
        }
  }

Problem

Is it possible to capture clicks from the extra buttons of a mouse in WPF? I want to implement back and forward navigation using the mouse in my application like when you browse the Internet. When an extra button is clicked I want to execute a command. I have only managed to find examples where the left/right/wheel buttons are used. Thanks in advance.
