Dismiss drop down control and click a button in one mouse click - c#

I have a control with multiple inputs in a drop down box. If the drop down control is engaged, then I click off it on another button on the panel, it uses the first click to dismiss the previous control, and basically takes two clicks to hit the button I wanted to hit with the first click. Can anyone give me a work around for this?

Windows Form (C#) -- Clicking buttons without leaving mouse click

I'm trying to build an application using C#, which will visualize some graph searching algorithms.
For that, I opened a Windows Form and inserted 50X50 buttons to it.
I know how to make the buttons do something specific everytime I click it.
But the problem that I encounter is, I want to press the mouse-clickbutton ONCE, and without leaving the mouse-clickbutton, I want EVERY BUTTON I PASS ON to be pressed.
For example, I want to press the whole first line of buttons.
I can press each button separately, but instead, I want to click one of the buttons, and without leaving my mouse button pressed, I want to pass by all the buttons and make them clicked.
I want that my mouse click would mark as many buttons as its pressed, and if my mouse button is not pressed, nothing would happen.
I hope my question is understandable. Can anyone please point me where I can find this solution? I googled my vision but couldn't find anyone getting to understand my idea.
Thanks in advance!

How to Disable 'Preferences' Button in Print Dialog in WPF

I am looking for a way to disable 'Preferences' Button in Print Dialog in WPF. What I want is preventing the user from clicking that button and do unnecessary changes to the print.
I want to do it without creating a whole other print dialog on my own. Is there a possible way of accessing those buttons from code behind and manipulate them?

Is there a way to visibly simulate a mouseclick with just a button itself?

I've seen here: How to make a button appear as if it is pressed? how to make a button in a winforms application look pressed (and that it stays pressed) in 2008.
In my application I travel a similar route there but what I'm trying to do is to get more a feel like a mouse has clicked the button. Thus it becomes pressed for a second and then unpressed again (just like with a regular mouse click).
What I'm wondering there is if in 2017+ that Checkbox Workaround is still the best Approach even for this route (and it Needs to be "checked" and "unchecked") or if there is a better approach there (thus also one possible with the button itself)?

Run Action Upon Mouse Click and Mouse Release

I am working on a Windows Form C# project that requires running code when a user clicks down on a button, then waiting, and running a different set of code when the user then releases the mouse button. I have tried Button1.MouseDown and MouseUp as something that was suggested when I did a search for this information, but neither of these worked.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.
In visual studios, try clicking on the button and in properties, view the "Events" menu. You may have to scroll down and find Events "MouseDown" and Events "MouseUp".
Double click on each of this, which will load the class to work with.
Inside of those, you may add your code.
You can create a timer if you wish running at 100ms and if the user clicks the button and holds, then the timer goes and the moment he releases, inside that, you could have timer1.stop();

Disable the button on the click event. No more click events will be generated.
(best option) Fix your code so there's no problem.
Disable the button when you get the first click event.
