Event Data
The event handler receives an argument of type BeforeMouseDownEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following BeforeMouseDownEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.
| Property | Description |

| Cancel | Gets or sets a value indicating whether the event should be canceled. |

Remarks
This event fires before the grid processes the System.Windows.Forms.Control.MouseDown event, and gives the program a chance to customize the behavior of the control and optionally cancel the default handling of the mouse.
Example
The code below handles the BeforeMouseDown event to detect clicks on row headers and provide OLE drag and drop functionality.
void _flex_BeforeMouseDown(object sender, BeforeMouseDownEventArgs e) { // start dragging when the user clicks the row headers HitTestInfo hti = _flex.HitTest(e.X, e.Y); if (hti.Type == HitTestTypeEnum.RowHeader) { e.Cancel = true; // cancel default handling HandleRowDragDrop(hti.Row); // handle row drag/drop } }
