how to detect mouse events in win32 api?

I would like to detect mouse events like left button click, right button click etc in w开发者_Go百科in32. Is it possible to detect these events anywhere on the screen, not just over the window?

From my search i found setCapture() function but it requires a handle to the window, and i do not want to use a window.

Thank you.

you must try using a wide system hook to detect the mouse activity. check the WH_MOUSE_LL and the WH_MOUSE hooks.

Use winapi GetKeyState function https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/windows/desktop/ms646301%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Parameter: 1 - left mouse click, 2 - right mouse click, etc
