[Mono-winforms-list] Not sure how to do this - help would be appreciated

[Jonathan Pobst]

I don't think there is any "get cell at point" method for TableLayoutPanel.

What you could do is go ahead and fill each cell with a blank label that 
has a click/doubleclick handler.  That way, you don't have to worry 
about translating the click to a cell, as the click would occur on the 
label instead of the table.
