In C#...

I need to create and application that will run in the background and listen
for user mouse clicks anywhere on the desktop or any open application. When a
mouse click happens, it will catch that event and get a reference to the
active application...

Is this possible?

Can anyone give me an idea on how I would acheive this?

Thanks

Dear Bill,

You can use windows hooks for this purpose. It's a bit advanced
programming but it achieves your needs.
Check this detailed article with mouse hook example:

Feel free to ask any further questions.
Hope this helps.
