OnMouseButtonDown Method of the IInputEvents Interface

This method is implemented on the client-side. It is called by ABBYY FineReader Engine when a mouse button is pressed in Image Viewer, Zoom Viewer, Text Editor, Text Validator, or Document Viewer.

It delivers to the client information on the mouse button which is pressed, and the coordinates of the mouse pointer.
