I'm making a 2D game engine called Clixel over on GitHub. The problem I have relates to two classes, ClxMouse and ClxButton. In it I have a mouse class - the code for that can be viewed here.

{
get
{
return new Vector2(_curmouse.X - _lastmouse.X, _curmouse.Y - _lastmouse.Y);
}
}
private int _scrollwheel;
public int ScrollWheel
{
get
{
return _scrollwheel;
}
}
public bool LeftDown
{
get
{
if (_curmouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
public bool RightDown
{
get
{
if (_curmouse.RightButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
public bool MiddleDown
{
get
{
if (_curmouse.MiddleButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
public bool LeftPressed
{
get
{
if (_curmouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed && _lastmouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Released)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
public bool RightPressed
{
get
{
if (_curmouse.RightButton == ButtonState.Pressed && _lastmouse.RightButton == ButtonState.Released)
return true;
else
return false;
}

The issue I have is that I have all these have event styled methods, especially in ClxButton with all the onLeftClick, onRightClick, etc, etc.
Is there a better way for me to handle these events to be a lot more easier for a programmer to use? I was looking at normal events on some other sites, (I'd post them but I need more rep.) and didn't really see a good way to implement delegate events into my framework. I'm not really sure how these events work, could someone possibly lay out how these events are processed for me?
TL:DR
* Is there a better way to handle events like this?
* Are events a viable solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
