Trapping MouseMove outside the application

I try to figure out the proper way to trap MouseMove events outside my
application. Is the better way is to use Win32 api to trap a
WM_MOUSEMOVE by hooking all the other application??? There is no
other way to do this in C++/CLI ?? I saw some VC 6.0 examples but
it's different wen using VC8.0 2005

There is a TextBox in my application and I want to display the text
reterned (WM_GETTEXT) by an external window pointed by the mouse.

Basically i want to get a MouseMoveEvent to use WindowFromPoint to Get
the handle and extract the text of that window with a WM_GETTEXT msg
and the display the text in my textbox.

For now I need help only for figuring out how to get a mouseMove Event
outside my application. Is anybody can tell me the basic steps to do
this?

Thanks!

Hi Gurus Does anyone know how I set the error trapping to option 2 in visual basic. I know that you can go to tools, options and then choose on unhandled errors only, but is there a VB command that I can use instead? Cheers Nicolaas

I use code extensively; I probably overuse it. But I've been using error trapping very sparingly, and now I've been trapped by that. A form that works for me on the system I'm using, apparently runs into problems on the system where it will actually be used, and since I used so little error-trapping it dies very ungracefully. I will of...

Hello, I'm writing a small C# app, and part of what I'm trying to do involves the dragging of PictureBox controls on a form.

Hi, I have a canvas that reacts to mousedown and mousemove. Once I click the canvas I want to track the cursor wherever it goes, including outside the browser. Setting window.onmousemove only gives events inside the browser of course. I tried window.captureEvents which works on Safari but FireFox says it's deprecated. Mozilla's docs say to use...
