It's fairly simple, just have a boolean for each mouse button, set it to true when the button is pressed, and set it to false when released. That way you can test which buttons are currently pressed at any time you want.

e.g.

Code:

boolean left=false;
boolean right=false;
boolean center=false;

void mousePressed()
{
  if(mouseButton==LEFT)
    left=true;
  if(mouseButton==RIGHT)
    right=true;
  if(mouseButton==CENTER)
    center=true;
}

void mouseReleased()
{
  if(mouseButton==LEFT)
    left=false;
  if(mouseButton==RIGHT)
    right=false;
  if(mouseButton==CENTER)
    center=false;
}
