The ListView, ListBox, etc. controls in the Compact Framework are very basic. They handle the mouse events internally and don't expose them. If you want a "click" event, you can use the SelectedIndexChanged event instead. If you want a double click, use the same handled and save the time between clicks to determine if it is a double click or not.
To get more useful or creative functionality, you have to write your own control and inherit from something like the Control or UserControl classes.
There is a more-or-less functional example in a .Net Framework Developer's Guide article, <a href="
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229679.aspx" alt="How to: Create an Owner-Drawn List Box">How to: Create an Owner-Drawn List Box</a>, but it doesn't handle dynamic content. Good for basics, though.
You can examine a really tricked-out listbox control in the CodeProject article, <a href="
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/SmoothListBox.aspx" alt="Implementing a smoothly animated ListBox">Implementing a smoothly animated ListBox - CodeProject</a>. This may be overkill for most purposes, but it does show you how intricate you can get.

Mouse events in CF controls (ListView, TreeView, etc...)

Hi
I was exploring the possibility to implement dragging items in
TreeView (or a ListView) control, for which I was planning to use th
MouseDown, MouseUp, etc... events. However, these are not implemente
for these controls (they are implemented only for Form, Panel
Control, from my understanding). I tried to implement custom control
derived from these, and override OnMouseUp, or just add the event an
the event handler in the custom control (since all these are derive
from Control), but it still does not seem to work. I also tried t
implement a custom WndProc, but this does not work either. I searche
the group, but did not find any solution not including third-part
controls
Does anyone have any suggestion? This seems to be a pretty commo
problem...
Thank
Ivan

I never use the listview, grid control etc as I write my own but if the
I never use the listview, grid control etc as I write my own but if the
listview doesn't support OnMouseDown etc you could try handle Click event
then "hack" the solution you need by detecting when the stylus was released
and position etc
