I am trying to write an app that will work kind of like Recorder, except that is is triggered by clicking on the right or middle mouse button. My question is: How do you get all mouse messages, including those that are done in other apps? Is there a way to modify your message loop to get all messages? It seems that recorder works this way (except with the keyboard), and I looked at a shareware program called whiskers that does approximately this with the mouse, but I couldn't get whiskers to activate recorder. My end goal is to get the mouse click (right or middle button) to start an app. Is there a better way? By the way, I am using Borland C 3.1. Thanks for any help, guesses, or whatever you think of.
