How to examine which mouse button is pressed

There is a case to need to examine which the mouse button is pushed in some event procedure. It is possible to get a information of the mouse pointer from the global mouse instance as following program.

#include "WScom.h"
#include "WSCfunctionList.h"
#include "WSCbase.h"
//----------------------------------------------------------
//Function for the event procedure
//----------------------------------------------------------
#include "WSDmouse.h" //A

void btn_ep(WSCbase* object){
  long status = WSGIappMouse()->getStatus(); //B
  if (status & WS_MOUSE_BTN1){ //C
    //Left button is pushed..
  }
  if (status & WS_MOUSE_BTN2){ //D
    //Middle button is pushed..
  }
  if (status & WS_MOUSE_BTN3){ //E
    //Right button is pushed..
  }

}
static WSCfunctionRegister  op("exit_ep",(void*)exit_ep);
At firust,include WSDmouse.h to access the global mouse instance (A). and, get a information of the mouse pointer (B). Check the button of the mouse whether to be pushed (C),(D),(E). It is better that cheking value by operator & than ==, because somethime the mouse buttons are pushed in same time.
