How can I detect when a mouse button is pressed (not only inside a form)?

Thank's for any answer!

That's not helping me very much...

I want to detect a click on desktop, for example, not on a form or an object from a form. I know how to get the mouse coordinates(mouse.X and mouse.Y) with API call function, but I don't know how to get the mouse clicks.

Anybody can help me?

I suggest a keyword search in this forum, as I have presented a solution to this on a number of occassions here

In that case I'll point you at SetWindowsHookEx and WH_MOUSE_LL
