I hate to respond to my own post but I think I've isolated my problem a bit
more. I've written my own penDown handler for taps within the bounds of the
table and am inverting the row myself. The problem appears to be with the
TblGetItemBounds(). For custom drawn items, the extent.y is hard coded
rather than the actual height of the row. I'm able to get around this
problem with my own pen event handler for the table but it sure would be
nice to be able to avoid this complexity.
Thanks again,
-Paul
