There is no onmouseodown event handlers, and i could really use one

All of the row selection events trigger on 'mouseup'. I need an event handler for 'mousedown'. I need this, because i'm trying to simulate windows file drag n' drop, and they highlight the files on mousedown, to make dragging a one-click process.

I could probably do this with some non dhtmlxgrid code, but i would rather use your event hooks if possible.

There is no public event which fires on mousedown ( actually onmousedown used to handle right click for context menu, but it fires event only for right mouse button )
You can attach code directly to HTML container in next way

    dhtmlxEvent(grid.entBox,"mousedown",function(e){
           var el = grid.getFirstParentOfType((e.target||event.srcElement),"TD");
           var id = el.parentNode.idd;
            // now you can execute any code with row ID         
    });

>>to make dragging a one-click process
Actually built in d-n-d in grid allows to drag row in same way - you can mousedown on not-selected row and drag it
