Detecting Mouse Clicks

[Guest]

Hi

Is there a way to detect a mouse click anywhere on the screen (not just on
your form or a control on the form)?

Thanks
Brent

You could capture the mouse if you want to have detect mouse clicks
while your app is active. In win32 we could use SetCapture to do it.

If you want to mouse click even when your app is not active, you can
use a system wide mouse hook:
