We are working on an application that needs to track the location of the

anybody aware of any Carbon API calls that would allow us to do this? Or,
if this is something you can't do with Carbon, is there some other way we
could hook into OS X to do this?
Yes, you can use the GetEventMonitorTarget API to do this. Install event
handlers for kEventMouseMoved, kEventMouseDragged, kEventMouseUp, and
kEventMouseDown on this target, and you'll receive these events when your
application isn't active.
Eric (and Uli),
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try them and then report back to the
list.
