Okay. I figured this out. I wanted to share my results with others as it may come in handy for you as well.

Here's the code I used to get it to work every time I click the second button.

  
win->MouseDragStart(button,mx,my,MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_DONTHIDEMOUSE|MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_NOMOVE);  
  while (win->MouseDrag(&dx,&dy,&device)==MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE)  
  {  
      if(dx == 0 && dy == 0)  
      {  
          GeSyncMessage(EVMSG_ASYNCEDITORMOVE);  
          BaseContainer bc = BaseContainer();  
            
          win->BfGetInputEvent(BFM_INPUT_MOUSE, &bc);  
          if (bc.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_CHANNEL) == BFM_INPUT_MOUSERIGHT)  
          {  
              GePrint("RIGHT BUTTON PRESSED");  
          }  
      }  
  }

I noticed that when I placed a GePrint() within the MouseDrag() loop that it would work perfectly.
This then led me to place this line:

  
GeSyncMessage(EVMSG_ASYNCEDITORMOVE);

in to the code. and with that little addition it works great.. This works also with the middle mouse wheel.. Just replace

BFM_INPUT_MOUSERIGHT  
with  
BFM_INPUT_MOUSEWHEEL

Remember of course that this all works only if you are holding down the left mouse button.

Hope this is helpful for someone.

Thanks,

Shawn
