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 ItemClick event should be used if specific information about the logical position of the mouse cursor is needed.
