no listbox click event is horrible

[khorad]

so when is this going to get fixed?

we're supposed to use SelectedIndexChanged instead, ok, but there are a few
problems with that:
1. I need it to fire if you click anywhere in the box, not just on an item
(box is only half-full for instance)
2. (and far worse) this event fires a bunch of times while attaching a
listbox to a datasource causing SelectedItem to return a bunch of garbage.
So now I have to go around setting and unsetting and checking flags all over
my code to make sure I really want to handle this event

Please put this functionality in!

Khorad --

We're looking to add this to the next version of the Compact Framework.
Until then, there is a great custom all-managed code listview in the Pocket
TaskVision sample (see msdn.microsoft.com) that gives you the click event.
