Selenium WebDriver - How to Holds down the RIGHT mouse button?

Question

Using Selenium 2.0 WebDriver (java), I need to test some navigation (rotate, pan...)

I need to be able to Holds down the RIGHT button while moving the mouse.

Similarly, I need to be able to holds down the MIDDLE button while moving the mouse.

It seems to be possible only with the LEFT button.

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.clickAndHold().perform();

Following question, i'm not dealing with any menu, button, widget but with a 3D Environment like GoogleMap where I need to simulate pan, rotate and zoom using MIDDLE button, RIGHT button and even Mouse wheel...

Any Help?

You can use robot class to perform same. For Right click use Button3 and for middle use Button2

Code for Right click

Robot robot=new Robot();
robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON3_DOWN_MASK);
robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON3_DOWN_MASK);

Code for Middle Button

Robot robot=new Robot();
robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_DOWN_MASK);
robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON2_DOWN_MASK);

Robot is evil but when nothing else works ... using this solution, shame for Selenium API. – Audrius Meškauskas Oct 03 '18 at 10:14

If its not a browser or windows menu ,If its a something like a web context menu you can use following code its in c# java must be similar

Actions actions = new Actions(WebDriver);
actions.ContextClick(webElement)
                                               .SendKeys(Keys.Down)
                                               .SendKeys(Keys.Down)
                                               .Build()
                                               .Perform();

you can use a combination of actions.ClickAndHold() and actions.MoveToElement() to create a drag effect , I use these to move portal widgets

Please tell me what type of menu you are working on

Thank you for your answer. I'm not working on any menu, widget or button. I'm working on a 3D environment view like googleMap, I need to simulate pan, rotate and zoom using Mouse Right and Middle button. – user2964961 Nov 07 '13 at 14:46
This doesn't answer the question. contextClick() sends both a mouse down and mouse up. OP is asking for just mouse-down. It seems that this functionality does not exist and you have to use the Mouse class directly. – BadZen Jan 01 '15 at 15:37
