We are currently completing a new implementation of System.Windows.Forms
written completely on the top of the System.Drawing namespace and using
a small layer for every operating system (for windowing, keyboard,
mouse, and so on).

We do support WndProc and its related support infrastructure. In Linux,
we convert X11 events into WndProc alike messages. I mean, a .Net
application get WM* messages as expected. As you can imagine, every
event has to be coded and test it in different platforms.

We currently do not support what you need, but you have all the
System.Windows.Forms source code available under an open source license
and you are free to contribute the parts that you need and we can
provide you some help point out what has to be done and how.

For a more detailed information of the current status of our
System.Windows.Forms you can visit http://www.mono-
project.com/contributing/winforms.html
