Maybe the Form's Deactivate event (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.deactivate(v=vs.110).aspx) is what you are looking for?

What are you trying to achieve?

It can be done but it means writing a routine that delves deep into the operating system. Windows Forms are not designed to detect clicks outside of their space. It might be easier to check for focus changes
