Try picking up the mouse even in capture phase.

Hello, I am processing the ItemDoubleClick event for a datagrid which receives a ListEvent. I would like to know if the user was pressing the control key when they double clicked but I can't seem to find this information. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks, Paul. PS: I tried intercepting the general double click event for the grid which receives a mouse event (and so is easy to check for the ctrl key) but it is fired after the itemDoubleClick.
