TreeView screwed up?

Hy
I put on a form a TreeView
on the TreeView MouseUp event, I put a Console.WriteLine("m up");

The mouseUp events seems to come up at the wrong times.
- If I click on a node, the mouseUp comes imediatly after i move the mouse (like a mouseMove).
- If I click on blank space, not on any node, the mouseUp events comes when I press the mouse button(like a mouseDown).

Could someone verify this? Is the treeview.net screwed up?

I am unable to reproduce this.  The MouseUp event fires each time I press and release the left mouse button anywhere on the treeview.
Never mind...I am able to see this problem now.

it there a way to hook in c#?
hook.. i mean to get the windowproc for a control's handle and watch for windows system messages?

(i wrote to MS and thay responded that "This is a known problem with the TreeView control in version 1.0 of the .NET Framework.")

question remains.. how can I hook for windows messages? (to look for WM_PAINT or WM_LBUTTONUP)
With regards to VB, sublcassing/hooking can be accomplished the same as it is in previous versions using Windows API.  If you just want to translate that code over to C#, I can point you to a link.  I'm not sure if .NET provides any new, simpler method for performing this task.

a..yes, it does. :) found it in the meantime :)

in every control there is a protected method WndProc that is the actual WindowProc for that control. So this method is called for each and every message the control receives.
U just need to inherit the control and play with the messages.
This way u can override the MouseUp event. And call it when u find the WM_LBUTTONUP event.(didn't do it yet, but it shouldn't be very hard).

The problem still remains, the Tree is screwed up and MS admited this.
Sounds like something fun to play with, thanks for the info.
