I suppose you could _MouseTrap() it to a location out of the way.

Search the forum for mousehook examples. You can preform the logic you want there, like checking if the mouse coordinates are over a specific window or region and handle accordingly. By returning non-zero value from the hook procedure you're telling the system to skip the rest of the hook chain and thus blocking the event from passing to the rest of the windows in the system. One thing I've noted about hooks is that the chain is handled as a stack (LIFO) so the last application to register it's procedure is the first application to get notified in the chain.
