Does anyone know of a way to track mouse events at the application level?
For example, I want the user to be able to click a "Help" button.  This
changes their cursor into a question mark.  I want my Help class to then
listen to mouse events to display context sensitive help the next time the
mouse is clicked (at which time the Help class will quit listening to mouse
events).

Any ideas?

Jason
