Is it possible to detect where on the open desktop a user double
clicks and if there is NO Icon under it?

I think there is some sort of list of desktop items, but I also need
to know their parameters (Top Left, Bottom Right of associated Icon
AREA)  To make sure I am in the clear when I double click.

I wish to do something when the user double clicks on a clear area of
the desktop, but do nothing when they activate a valid icon.

I know this is a relatively  simple one for all you experienced
windows  programmers,  but any kind of example would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dekaya
