Hi,

Thanks to the ApplicationEx class from OpenNetCF, I can access the
application message pump in my form and access mouse events without worrying
on which controls the mouse click occured .

But, now I want to access the messages from a custom control. Since I cannot
call ApplicationEx.Run() in the custom control, I am unable to access the
mouse events from the message pump.

Is there a way to get around this problem?

Thanks.
