I have a form that has a bunch of nested controls in it. How do I detect a
mouse click on any of those controls in that form? I don't actually care
which control receives the click event in this case, just want to know if
any part of this form is being clicked on. Obviously I could hookup the
clicked event of every single child control, but is there an easier way?

Thanks.

You could have your form implement IMessageFilter. Take a look at this
thread in this forum from yesterday. It discusses how you can catch mouse
actions anywhere on a UserControl no matter what child control got the
message. You could do something similar with your form.
