Rodrigo,

You will want to set up a global mouse hook, or a global message hook
(googling the terms will give you more info) which you can use to intercept
mouse clicks or windows messages to other applications.

As for information about the app being clicked, what kind of information
are you looking for?

Hi,

You can create a global hook, but if you give more details about what you
want we can give you a more detailed approach.
