aha, but that is not what i wanted. obviously i dis-understood the API
parameter.
i only want to hook all system mouse messages (system wide) so my
application can decide if it is interessted in when the mouse rolls over a
control.

it is like Spy++ in the Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Tools.
there you have a Spy->Messages... with a Finder Tool (with a little target
symbol in it). This target can be grapped by mouse-click and dropped over a
specified control which Spy++ then captures the messages.

so i need all mouse move messages system wide for every application... like
Spy++
