I want to make a program that can track motions of a mouse on another
application, so I can create a macro builder; but I am having trouble
catching the messages.
How can I receive simple windows messages, like (WM_MOUSEMOVE) that are
sent to Program X from Program Y, when the two are not related?
I thought this might work, but as you gurus all know, this routine only
captures messages delivered to this particular app.
Application->OnMessage = MessageCatcher;
//MessageCatcher is the function where I would handle it the other apps
messages, but of course, they aren't sent here..
How do I include all apps, or a specific target app also?
