<div>
Capture the mouse:<br />
::SetCapture(HWND hwnd)<br />
This will send all mouse events to your dialog..<br />
until it releases the capture (could happen with Alt-Tab)<br />
When you don't need the mouseinput anymore, call<br />
::ReleaseCapture()<br />
<br />
When loosing the capture you get a WM_CAPTURECHANGED message, so you KNOW when your capture is released by Alt-Tab<br />
<br />
This is the only possibility ...<br />
<br />
Hopes this helps :)<br />

I know about capturing the mouse, but that makes the mouse useless in the dialog. &nbsp;It's not an option for me.<br />
<br />
Some kind of a window hook?<br />
