If by "click on another window" you mean "click on a window owned by a different process", then the answer is "you can't".

By design, a process on Windows is not permitted to force an arbitrary window to the foreground, unless one of a certain narrow list of conditions are met.

Why cant one write a system wide hook to achieve it? Why is it a system limitation?
