Hi.
Can assign global hotkeys, but I desire to have middle mouse button a
global event, which instantiates a menu. However, Firefox, and a few
other programs use the same button as well. I would like to be able to
check if the current visible form (not my program) is using this
key/button and if so, the event is not hooked by myprogram. Any pointers?
Thanks, Alistair.

Alistair,
Have you considered what you do if you have software like Microsoft's
Intellimouse software installed? In that case, it usually causes you to
capture the scrollbar of the window that currently has focus, and then
allows you to move that scrollbar with the mouse.

I hear what you are saying - worth looking at, but also the event that
happens in Firefox for instance, is that a wheel click bring us the
direction cursor, so I expect two tests would be necessary.

Hi
Please help because I'm really stuck:
I'm trying to write an application in C# which can be used to track
the mouse pointer position on any window. I'm trying to use a Global
mouse hook to do this but with limited success. According to the
documentation (as I understand it) you can only do Global hooks in
..Net if the delegate procedure passed to SetWindowsHookEx is external.

Hi, I am coding for an application with dialog window. I need intercept mouse input.
I need catch raw input, pretty much everything for WM_INPUT: such as Left/Middle/Right button down/up, srcoll/wheel, pull and drag, device source.
I checked SetWindowsHookEx, it seems it can't catch so much infor, only LButton RButton Down/Up? What function should I use or maybe I should ask how to hook Dialog box message Proc?
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to capture the mouse events when the user clicks on the
desktop not the winform. I looked at the mouse_event function but MSDN
documentation says that it is suppressed in win NT/2000/XP. What I am
trying to do is to get print screen for a section on the desktop every
number of seconds. And I want the user to be able to select that
region.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,
I need to able to write JS that will click on a link with the middle
