GUIGetCursorInfo does not return the correct primary/secondary down info in Windows 2000 if you switch primary/secondary mouse buttons via the Control Panel (for left handers).

It does return correct information however in Windows XP (at least on my XP machine it does).

I'm using AutoIt3 version 3.1.1.64.

Run this program to see...

[ code='text' ]    ( ExpandCollapse - Popup )

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Mouse Test", 400, 400)
$b=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("0", 10, 10,50)
$c=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("0", 10, 30,50)
$d=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("0", 10, 50,50)
$e=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("0", 10, 70,50)
$f=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("0", 10, 90,50)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 10, 110, 100, 20)
$primary = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Primary", 40, 180, 80, 20)
$secondary = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Secondary", 200, 180, 80, 20)
GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    GetPos()
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

Func GetPos()
    $a=GUIGetCursorInfo()
    GUIctrlSetData($b,$a[0]) 
    GUIctrlSetData($c,$a[1])
    GUICtrlSetData($d,$a[2])
    GUICtrlSetData($e,$a[3])
    GUICtrlSetData($f,$a[4])
    If $a[2] Then
        GUICtrlSetBkColor($primary,0xFF0000)
    Else
        GUICtrlSetBkColor($primary,0xF1F1EC)
    EndIf
    If $a[3] Then
        GUICtrlSetBkColor($secondary,0xFF0000)
    Else
        GUICtrlSetBkColor($secondary,0xF1F1EC)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Yep, a bug.
I think it's a kind of misunderstanding in the function.
I will ask jpm for more info cause I found something through testing and googeling ;)

The bug already exists in AutoIt 3.2.10.0 and Windows XP (Sp2).
But only when the CheckBox "Switch primary and secondary buttons" in the Mouse Properties in Control Panel is checked.

Fixed in next beta. I have no idea why the code that fixed the original problem got removed...
