So the .NET 2.0 web browser control does not provide a MouseDown or
Click event handler, but I have a need to trap on this. I would like
to know the best approach to accomplish this. I see Enter and Leave
event handlers on the control and I have tried to trap on these and
then check the MouseDown event on the parent, but this doesn't seem to
work.

Is there an approach I can use with API calls. I don't require an 100%
managed solution.

Thanks.

install a mouse hook and check if the source window is the webbrowser
control or its children.

As mentioned above, see if these windows api calls dealing with the mouse
are helpful.
