VB.NET right button click event on dynamically created button

Question

Similar to: Get the ID/Name of a button in a click event. VB.NET ?

I am looking to find whether the left or right button was clicked on a mouse. I have declared a block class which holds buttons. I've assigned an event to the button click through:

Class Block
  Public X As Integer
  Public Y As Integer
  Public type As String
  Public status As String
  Public text As String
  Public WithEvents button As Button

  Private Sub btnReveal_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button.Click
  ....
  ....
  End Sub

This works fine, but when I try to pick up the right button click using:

    If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
        MessageBox.Show("RH click")
    Else
        button.Text = text
        button.BackColor = Color.LightGray
    End If

It complains on e.Button: Button is not a member of System.EventArgs

Any ideas?

The Click event doesn't tell you which mouse button (if any) was clicked So handle the MouseClick event. stackoverflow.com/a/936615/284240 — Tim Schmelter

Handle the MouseUp or MouseDown Events. They pass the MouseEventArgs.

So I was just testing to make sure before writing a very similar answer and I find that when I'm handling MouseClick it knows if it's the left button, but not if it's the right. And if I'm handling the mouseUp event, it knows either way.
