Physical mouse activities, or mouse events?

I guess the basics are:

  • Left click
  • Right click
  • Double Click
  • Mouse Move
  • Drag (Click + Hold)

There's also:

  • Scroll wheel
  • Mouseover
  • Click (doesn't matter which one)
  • Middle Click
  • Extra buttons (on more expensive mice)

I always felt their were 6 basic mouse functions when I teach computers.

1) single left click ( in start menu programs)

2) double left click ( to open desktop icons)

3) right click ( to open action menus )

4 click and drag ( move something or scroll)

5) hover the mouse ( put it on something without clicking and an action happens ex a pop up , "all programs" button in XP will open

6) wand the mouse ( like click and drag but select a large group of text to print selection. or multi- select a group of files
