I know this has to be something stupid I'm forgetting. Any time a mouse
button is clicked (any mouse button) I want get all the information about
where the Pointer is, what button was clicked, etc even if it not over a
form my app created. How can I do this. Like I said I know this is simple
I just can't remember it.

You need to set up a global Hook for the mouse. It is a little bit tricky in
..NET, since .NET documentation says it does not support hooks, but...

Check out the MouseEventArgs, they contain Button, X, Y , Clicks, Empty and
Delta. Trapping MouseDown will get this for you.. HTH,

You will have to set up a global hook. Sample for keyboard hook (works
similar with a mouse hook):
