Winforms ListView - Stop automatically checking when double clicking

How do I make a listview not automatically check an item when I double click it?

I can try hooking into the MouseDoubleClick event, and set the Checked property to false, but that feels like a bit of an hack. I also run a reasonably expensive calculation when an item is actually checked, and don't want this code to run on a double click. With the event hooking above, the ItemCheck & ItemChecked events are raised before the double click is handled.

Is there an elegent solution to this?

A simple solution suggested as answer for similar question was just ok for my use:

private bool inhibitAutoCheck;

private void listView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
    inhibitAutoCheck = true;
}

private void listView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
    inhibitAutoCheck = false;
}

private void listView1_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e) {
    if (inhibitAutoCheck)
        e.NewValue = e.CurrentValue;
}
