using IFilterMessage from OpenNetCF

[Frankenstein]

Hi,

I need to catch the mouse click event wherever it occurs in the form,
irrespective on which control the mouse/stylus is clicked. I tried using
the ApplicationEx.AddMessageFilter() API from the OpenNetCF library.
However, the API does not seem to work as suggested on the site. Even the
ApplicationEx sample from the site did not run on my PocketPC emulator.

Can you please take a look at the code pasted below and tell me where I am
going wrong. Apologies, if the formatting goes astray in the post.

Regards.

In your Main method make sure you use ApplicationEx.Run instead of
Application.Run.
