TreeView, ListView MouseDown

The MouseDown event is documented to be supported in the CF but doesn't
actually work. Is there a way to use API calls to hook the mouse events and
get messages sent to a MessageWindow without creating a native dll?

Or is there a way to subclass the treeview to get this event to work? It
works if I create a custom control that inherits from Control, but if I
inherit for TreeView and try to override the onMouseDown method, it is
ignored. I could build a new control from scratch, but it would be a lot of
bother and I shouldn't have to just to get a documented feature to work as
documented.

Elmer,

Your only option at the moment is to use a native DLL.

I also found that the MouseDown event didn't work on the TreeView in
CF, So I am using the AfterSelect event to capture the clicked node.
