how would you switch the mouse buttons around? Would it be like switching keys on the keyboard around?

The only way I know how to do it is to call SystemParametersInfo with the SPI_SETMOUSEBUTTONSWAP flag:

Code:

invoke SystemParametersInfo,SPI_SETMOUSEBUTTONSWAP,TRUE,NULL,0

switches them, and

Code:

invoke SystemParametersInfo,SPI_SETMOUSEBUTTONSWAP,FALSE,NULL,0

restores them.
These is a system wide change - it affects all apps, not just your own.
SystemParametersInfo is exported by user32.dll, as
SystemParametersInfoA for ASCII and SystemParametersInfoW for WIDE.
