Comments
The MouseDown event occurs when a mouse button is pressed.
The MouseDown event can be used by an application to handle mouse button clicks in combination with keyboard modifiers such as the SHIFT, CONTROL and ALT keys.
The Tabs.HitTest method can be used to determine the tab index of a tab at a given location.
The TabClicked event can be used to determine what portion of the tab was clicked and can be used to suppress tab switching.
The Switching and Switched events should be used to determine which tab is clicked.
