Remarks

If a mouse button is pressed while the pointer is over an InkEdit control, that control captures the mouse and receives all mouse events up to and including the last MouseUp event. This implies that the (x, y) mouse-pointer coordinates returned by a mouse event may not always be in the internal area of the object that receives them.

If mouse buttons are pressed in succession, the object that captures the mouse after the first press receives all mouse events until all buttons are released.

This event method is defined in the _IInkEditEvents interface. The _IInkEditEvents interface implements the IDispatch Leave Site interface with an identifier of DISPID_IeeMouseDown.
