Greetings,

I am currently working on a project in which I have to track the mouse cursor on the screen and then get the coordinates of where I left click. I have currently gotten the mouse hook to work which shows the coordinates of where the mouse cursor is within the window but I can't get the mouse click to work. Does anyone know how to accomplish this task?

Thank you,
John

Are you sure you made a hook? And what means "can't get the mouse click to work"? You are confusing: you need to track mouse activity on the whole screen or only over your application window?

I need to track the mouse movement on my screen only. When I say hook I mean the application right now tracks the mouse movement for the entire screen and displays the X and Y coordinate but I would like to click the mouse and have the X and Y value be stored as INTs
