LButtonDown Outside Dialog?
How can i get LButtonDown events outside of a dialog - meaning that i want the messages to be sent to the dialog regardless of whether the mouse is inside that dialog. I tried to use GetCapture, but i'm not getting WM_LBUTTONDOWN or WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN if the mouse is outside the dialog. Any ideas? Thanks!

Will not suffice if this is not a global hook (in library). Even if Justavian uses SetWindowsHookEx (SetWindowsHook is obsolete for 32bit windows) it will monitor mouse within application window... If we only knew if this is dialog based app or not...
If it is dialog based application it will be almost equivalent of handling mouse messages for client and non-client areas of the main window.
WH_MOUSE_LL – low level mouse hook will work but only for 2000/XP 9x and Me is not supported
