I believe the first click activates the form and then with second click I receive the mouse click events (as expected). Can you give any ideas, what can be wrong here? My problem is similar to ...
Does anyone have experience with Windows appbars (application desktop toolbars)? I have figured out how to implement them from the documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144177%28VS.85%29.aspx), and I've got it working pretty well.
