- 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.
