With the risk to make a fool of myself, might I suggest the IListBox
control, and the Cursor class as the browser through the text lines.

By inheriting the ISelectHandler and ICommandHandler and overriding the
command operation for both, you will recieve the information about what
happened - this is eventdriven. You can read double-click, right
mousebutton, left mousebutton, enter etc. etc. etc. in the IListBox
control.

Was this what you wanted, or?

We are hopefully talking PM, or?

Hope this sorts you out!
