Details:
Click events are often used to initiate an action in response to user input.
Typically, clicking on a control means a user is selecting it and would like to
perform some action. Click events are also useful for maintaining the state of
controls in an application with respect to one another. For example, when a
particular button is clicked, another control may be enabled or disabled according
to the button's value.
The way in which a click event is activated is different for different
objects. See the following chart for details:

Note: The click event can also respond to the right mouse button if a user has
switched the functions of the left and right mouse buttons by using the mouse
settings in the Control Panel.
When a Click event occurs as the result of mouse events, Phoenix sends the
MouseDown, MouseUp, and Click events, in that order. Your application can
implement behavior that differs according to which mouse button is pressed by testing
the “button” argument to the MouseDown, MouseMove, and MouseUp events.
