How to get 2 mouse clicks - not double click

[Mindset]

HI
I am trying to get 2 sets of co ordinates via OnMouseDown using a click counter

        #region mouse    
        public void MiddleMouseButtonExample_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            if(ClickCounter == 0)
            {
            if (e.MiddleButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
            {
                clickPoint.X = ChartingExtensions.ConvertToHorizontalPixels(e.GetPosition(ChartPanel as IInputElement).X, ChartControl.PresentationSource);
            /   clickPoint.Y = ChartingExtensions.ConvertToVerticalPixels(e.GetPosition(ChartPanel as IInputElement).Y, ChartControl.PresentationSource);
                ClickCounter += 1;
            }
            }///end ClickCounter = 0

            if(ClickCounter == 1)
            {
            if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
            {
                clickPoint2.X = ChartingExtensions.ConvertToHorizontalPixels(e.GetPosition(ChartPanel as IInputElement).X, ChartControl.PresentationSource);
                clickPoint2.Y = ChartingExtensions.ConvertToVerticalPixels(e.GetPosition(ChartPanel as IInputElement).Y, ChartControl.PresentationSource);

                if (clickPoint2.Y > 0)
                {
                    clickSet = true;
                    barIdx2 = -1;
                    barIdx = -1;
                }
                // trigger the chart invalidate so that the render loop starts even if there is no data being received
                ChartControl.InvalidateVisual();
                e.Handled = true;
                ClickCounter = 0;
                //Print(clickPoint.X);
                //Print(clickPoint2.X);
            }
            }///end ClickCounter = 1;


        }
        #endregion

However I want the chart to 'wait'for the second click - currently it just goes straight to the second mouse method, giving me the exact same co ordinates
If I change the mouse button eg leftbutton == MouseButtonState,Pressed first then middle button == MouseButtonState.Pressed - it all works fine - but I just want to click the left button, move the mouse and click the left button again, and then the rest of my logic can be run.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello Mindset,

Your second condition set will always be true if the first condition set is true. You are setting the value to 1 then checking if its 1.

Perhaps you were meaning to use an else if, so both conditions cannot be true?

Thanks Chelsea.
But what I am trying to achieve is 2 left mouse clicks with different co ordinates - and if use else if of course I only end up with one.
I thought that the counter and the ismousebuttonpressed conditions would prevent the method from completing until I had clicked the second time?

Hello Mindset,

It would not. You are setting the Counter to 1 and then immediately below checking if its 1. It will always be 1 because you set it 1.
Meaning it happens immediately, not the next time the mouse is clicked.
You are wanting to wait until the mouse is clicked a second time right?
So either return immediately after setting the counter to 1, or use an else if so that when the value is set to 1, the second condition is not immediately evaluated until the mouse is clicked again.

LOl Can't believe it was that simple. thanks Chelsea_B
