Notification of click in other application's window


  • Subject: Notification of click in other application's window
  • From: Larry Gerndt <email@hidden>

My application would like to be informed when the user clicks on a window in
another application, and would like to be able to obtain the global
coordinates of that window. The reason is because I would then frame that
window with a special, hollowed out utility window we call the "Capture
Frame" which defines the area of the screen that will be captured.

On OS 9 it was possible to detect the click by using an jGNE filter. I
would then use FindWindow to get a handle to that window. On OS X prior to
Jaguar, it wasn't possible to do either of these things. But I've been told
that the new Accessibility API in Jaguar would make this possible. If
that's so, does anyone have a clear I idea of which functions I would need
to use?
